One of the most promising young big men in Europe. Has developed quickly both in terms of skill development and physical stature. He is expected to start out as a forward in the NBA but will likely play center eventually as his body matures.
Career Notes: A member of the [EUROCOUNTRY] team that won the European Cadet Championships in [YEAR X]. A member of the team at the Under-20 Championships in [YEAR Y], but coaches did not play him in competition.
Chad Ford, ESPN Insider: He's the real deal. He's really one of a kind. He runs the floor, handles the ball, shoots the NBA 3-pointer, plays with his back to the basket, so you can slot him in at the 3, 4 or 5. What sets [PLAYER] apart is his toughness in the post. You have to love a guy who has the footwork to spin by an opponent, but still prefers to lower a shoulder and bang. Fact is, [PLAYER] plays in attack-mode at both ends of the floor. The more you push, the more he pushes back. He's got a great frame. He'll definitely get stronger. He'll have no problem holding his own in the post.
