NBA Comparison: Chris Wilcox
Strengths: Game is pure power, likes to dunk everything around the rim...Brings an intimidating edge
to the team with his aggressiveness and tenacity...Many dunks per game, mostly due to his intensity and partially due to his
ability to get open off double teams...Developing low post moves, shows soft touch in a baby hook shot and possesses solid
mobility to get his shot off to offset his average height...Good leaping skills especially for a big man, capable of receiving
lob passes for highlight reels...When focused, can make an impact defensively with his leaping skills, being intimidating
with his constant aggressiveness...Has the capacity to be a very nice rebounder, having a couple of rebounding explosions,
using his leaping ability to get rebounds out of his range when focused...Excels in an up-tempo, herky-jerky sort of game...
Weaknesses: Lacks polish in all aspects of his game. Slowly beginning to develop into his body and
recognize and take advantage of his skills...Offensively, limited to putbacks, dunks, and shots around the basket most of
the time, although with his leaping ability and aggressiveness that helps him to score some at least in the Brazilian level...Very
unproven, a 1988 prospect who hasn't received much playing time, this scouting report is mostly based in his recent games
against International Competition...Lacks refinement in his low post moves, often getting himself into troubling situations...Does
not pass well out of double teams, often a black hole once he receives the ball...Lacks ballhandling skills as well, often
relegated to just being a low post type...Lacks any sort of range and jumpshot, awkward form from free throw line where he
shoots 58%...Rebounding is inconsistent, in part due to his lax work ethic which many have questioned at times...Not a real
shotblocker defensively, but can alter shots and simply intimidate, but too often bites on pump-fakes and gets moved defensively
to pick up fouls...Average height for a big...Very raw player, but has a lot of time to improve...
