| Superior athlete who runs, rebounds and dunks. Loves to get out in transition and finish with a momentum changing jam. Needs to play with consistent effort. Can be a dominant rebounding force and will get them in traffic. Patrols the paint as a shot blocker and has been known to intimidate. |
| Biography: |
| Scouting Elite level athlete who runs the floor like a pro. Big time rebounder who is a presence inside. Used to drift to the perimeter but has gotten comfortable being a stud power forward.
JR Big summer of 2004 cemented him in the Top 5 in his class and reclaimed his rep as an elite player. Big events were the Peach Jam and AAU Nationals. Scored big win in a head-to-head game against Kevin Durant.
SOPH Nicknamed "The Big Ticket." Earned first-team all-Tidewater honors. 21 Very athletic and brandishes a jumper.
