This is a player who stands out for its technical quality, but compensates for this deficiency with the breed that shows in all sets of the game. Your best resource is the penetration (very powerful thanks to his physique) and the 1x1 game, especially playing the low post, while its main weakness is centered in the shot (poor mechanics), aspect that has tried to improve in recent time to become a decisive player. As a curiosity, it is a left-hander who made field goals with the right and free kicks with his left hand and ... will have to be careful with their ability to penetrate and then get the ball to the perimeter shooters. It is an extraordinary defense of those able to stick like glue to completely cancel torque, also working towards the rebound.

is a "three" with good looks, offering a tremendously clean shot (does not think at the time of the triple play) and possessing great individual technique. Playing in the EBA with only 18 was able to score 40 points to CB Palos giving you all a display of what could be. His talent came to light when attacking, which is a facet in a specialist, may be two quarters doing nothing and in ten minutes makes it a "broken " the opponent from the perimeter. He is a player very safe from the free throw line and also can help a lot to rebound. If you defend a smaller player, known to carry the low post to leverage its larger scale. Without being a bad defender, his defense is perhaps its weakest. Off the track is a guy who very much deserves the punishment, which is essential for a healthy and integrated apparel ...

is a "four" for its type of play and physical characteristics, it is very difficult to defend for the opponent if successful, particularly in the shot. Especially noted for his good shot in the middle distance, including triples that can put even forced situations. This feature intended to be a very useful player to open the defenses. But also has ability to play with his back to the basket, is not exactly a man who regularly look inside game. It also has grounds to penetrate to the basket and it is not uncommon to see complete counterattacks after rebound or turnover. His great physical strength and intensity allow you to support the rebound, but the defense is not his strong point.

is a pivot of massive scale that would be missing perhaps gain some weight to gain respect even in the paint. His long arms allow you to clog or hinder many of the shots of opponents and take many rebounds. On offense has the resources to score with ease in positions close to the basket, either after reverse, by hook or by means safer: the mate. If you do get balls can do much damage in the area rival. His handicap often personal fouls, a fact which often takes out of the game and prevent you from catching rhythm.

Last season was one of the revelations of the category, which allowed jump into a team with aspirations to be among the best. This is a pivot protruding especially for its enormous capacity rebounder in both areas, for which asserts his instinct and perseverance, as it has no problem doing two or three consecutive efforts to take the ball. In defense is a strong and sticky player, able to fight with all thanks to his physical strength and ability to advance. Runs the court well in the middle lane, and in fact the first to reach the attacking kick after bouncing back, often culminating transitions with easy baskets. Another of his favorite plays is to get in the low post, pivot and throw a hand after making a reverse. It is a spectacular player that makes it needless.
