Get up, it’s Gertrude day!!
@DFresh11 we know he’s an elite athlete w huge defensive upside, but where would you say he’s most skilled? Getting downhill, mid range, playmaking? The people need the Fresh scouting report

We up, Box. He has a lot to his game. Handles it well and is quick and shifty with it. Definitely getting to the rim is where he is most exciting. Crazy body control when he gets in the air and of course dunking on people brings the house down.
3 point shot is good but needs to be more consistent in terms of form (some have noted here that at times it can look flat). He has a really nice mid range game where he goes at defenders and stops on a dime and rises up quickly. He passes it ok but needs to become more fundamental in passing Also needs to always be stronger with the ball
Defensively has a chance to be one of the best ever at Virginia if he goes all in on that end. I told him Sunday to really start challenging dudea on the perimeter and to watch Reece!! all year and how he uses his hands
Big thing too is he is only a HS senior. Still developing physically etc. I wouldnt be surprised if he arrives first year pushing 6’5. Also is bigger and stronger at this point than the beginning of the summer…

If he hits 6’5” we’ll get to see what Keon Johnson would have been at UVA?

Oh wow Keon is from a town next to where I grew up in Tennessee, Shelbyville. We used to give it to them too!

Interesting article from Jamie Shaw. However, while I like the use of advance stats / synergy stuff, I’d prefer some baselines so we can know how good the stats are. That being said, The defensive stats seem good …

Thats actually a very good take on his game. I disagree on needing to add leg strength ha. Best way I have said it is he does really hard things very easily.
