Fell asleep a bit before halftime (blame my habit of segmented sleep...) but it has been a solid performance so far. He looked like the best big in the game.
Offensively, he is really good at the PnR, but he also posts up regularly. He uses his body and footwork (for a guy of his size) well.
Good insticts for rebounding.
Defensively, he is sound. He is good in the paint but also able to guard at the perimeter. Boxes out p well too (although there were a couple of times in the first half he didn't do it properly and let his opponent go through).
I like his confidence and energy too.
For a 20 yo center playing at the Euroleague, this is ticking quite a few boxes. The only way to find out what he can do it the NBA is ofc to have him play here.
@oldtype How do we know that rebounding is particularly translatable from Europe to the NBA? Not that I disagree with what you are saying, but I'd love to see some relevant evidence.
