Royal Oak HS
Current Ratings: C B- B+ B+ B+ B
Strengths
-Absolutely jaw dropping athlete. Incredible lateral quickness.
-Shooting guard height with power forward strength
-Has great timing and is an incredible offensive rebounder
-High basketball IQ. Teams are better when he is on the floor
-Infectious work ethic. He's the black "Tyler/Tebow"
-Has better court vision than most point guards
-Solid free throw shooter
Weaknesses
-Has absolutely no post moves whatsoever. All strength and vertical leap
-Incapable of making an impact on the game offensively
-Isn't skilled enough defensively to ever be a full time power forward
-Don't expect him to take a three unless there is 1 second on the shot clock and he happens to have the ball
Outlook
Could challenge for the #1 pick in 2024. Dropped out of high school during 11th grade when his mother became seriously ill to take a job and help pay for his sister's college tuition. Returned to school a year later, and finished his education. Was an honor roll student his senior year.
Scouts love what he does on the floor, but worry if it's because of age. Other scouts are quick to point out he was this good before dropping out. Some have called him "Dennis Rodman with court vision".
