Offensive Impact
Seems to have made improvements each year on the offensive end (sat out this season). Shooting efficiency has been up every year.
Good on the offensive glass (11.3% OREB in 23-24).
Solid post up game but not sure how he will match up against power conference size, will need to attack mismatches.
Ability to pass out of the post as well.
Not necessarily a believer in his offense translating to the ACC.
49% FG inside the arc for his career is not encouraging for a non shooting threat (27-102 from 3 in career).
Not an above the rim player, so he has to rely on his size and footwork inside to generate scoring efficiency, and these traits won’t pop off the page at the ACC level.
Defensive Impact
Coach Enfield likes having rim protection at both the 4 and 5. He can help in this area. 3.6% block rate in his career at Brown.
Can play either position at a serviceable level.
Not hyper athletic, but moves his feet well for a big.
Can’t really hunt a mismatch against him on the perimeter. Solid drop defender as well.
Rock solid, but not needle moving in any area. Fits the system defensively.
A 15-20 minute per game role would suit him well but having to rely on him night in and night out on either end of the floor would bring concerns on SMU’s outlook.
Overall Grade: C
