Potentially the steal of the draft?
-Just turned 19 like a week ago
-6'11" with a 7'3" wingspan
-Rebounding machine. His last 7 games: 12 boards, 11 boards, 10 boards, 9 boards, 6 boards, 11 boards, 11 boards and he's not even playing a ton of minutes. A 19% rebounding % each of the past 2 seasons
-3.9% blocks rate this season. 6.5% blocks rate last season are encouraging marks for a kid who posted those numbers at age 18 and 17, respectively
-Shot 32% from 3 at 2022 FIBA tournament...on 8 attempts per game
-This season he's at 32% as well. But he's trending in a good direction. First 17 games this season 30% from 3, compared to 38% from 3 over his last 6 games (about the same volume in both samples, around 3.5 - 4.0 attempts per game).
-He's playing in the 3rd division of Spain pro basketball so likely a draft and stash if he does get drafted this year
?s=20
18 year olds (he's 18 in all these clips) who have these types of ball skills at 6'11" (who can also rebound and block shots) don't grow on trees..
