"...He knows how to take full advantage of his height, knowing that he only needs to get decent position to block a shot..."
"He is a very good ballhandler for his size and a good passer. He also is a decent shooter, but will need to add a consistent hook shot to really be effective."

____ is only in his third year of organized ball, yet has already
drawn comparisons to the likes of Ewing, Olajuwon, Motumbo and O'Neal.
Defensively, ____ is a good post defender, strong enough to defend the
biggest centers, who is athletic enough to defend on away from the basket.
_____ is also a topnotch rebounder.
Offensively, ____has little more then a dunk for a repertoire. He
also had poor footwork and will require a lot of work.
The potential upside to ____ game will more then likely make him
the first center taken (definitely a lottery pick).
It is rumored that ____ has already hired an agent and has left school,
making it impossible for him to go back if he does not like the team
that drafted him.
