Sochan spannend in SA. Auch das gefühlt etwas zu hoch für ihn, aber ein guter fit.
Explosive shot blocker and leaper who can fill a role right away. Plus, he’s the youngest player likely to be drafted.
PLUSES
MINUSES
- Elite upside as a shot blocker. He’s unafraid to get physical and his 7-foot-5 wingspan and nimble feet make him a sentry defending the paint. He can also defend on the perimeter on an occasional switch or recovery to a shooter. He already does a great job of trailing ball handlers and using his length to block shots from behind, a trademark of the NBA’s best rim protectors.
- Excellent interior finisher. Throw him the ball anywhere and he’ll catch it. In lineups with four shooters, he has the leaping ability to pressure the rim with his rolls.
- Flashes passing upside from the perimeter, which is ironic considering he’s an interior scorer. But whether he’s diving to the basket out of the short roll or operating from the high elbow, he does a solid job of locating teammates.
- Good offensive rebounder.
- Off-ball defense. He still needs to improve his awareness. He sometimes gets caught ball watching, though he often makes up for it with his activity.
- Occasionally struggles with simple things, such as boxing out or falling into foul trouble too regularly. He needs to cut down on his physical and mental lapses so that his skills and athleticism can fuse.
- Lacks passing accuracy and discipline out of the low post. He takes too many risks with the ball, as if he’s predetermined where he wants to go with it rather than reacting to what the defense gives him.
- Struggles with shooting, both from the free throw line and from the field.
- Back-to-the-basket game is not a strength. Even when trying to establish positioning, he often gets pushed off his spots. Getting more skilled against switching defenses could lead to many mismatches for him.
Was soll der Sche*ß...
Kann mir jemand den Sinn hinter den Melton-Trade erklären?
