STRENGHTS WEAKNESSESS
  • has a great height for position and positive wingspan
  • very lanky but good frame to fill out next years
  • plays with good attitude. Runs back quickly to defense
  • has some qualities to be considered for 3 position long term which is very promising given his size
  • defensive potential thanks to long arms and stride. Contest shots
  • active – cuts off the ball and competes on the glass
  • makes silly mistakes especially passing wise. Feel for the game is a work in progress
  • more mobile than explosive now. Still getting used to his long limbs
  • shot is not broken but needs a lot of work to reach desired consistency
  • basic handles. Not comfortable with his left

At this stage he cannot be ignored but needs to improve many abilities to find a place for himself in few years on solid level of German basketball market.
