Irving Sommers

Strengths: A true diamond in the rough prospect, possesses a great face-up game with a rather aggressive mentality, looks to slash his way to the basket and has the mobility and the excellent first step to do so...Scores in bunches especially in transition game where he can use his very good athleticism for flashy dunks...It is rare to find such mobility and athleticism for a near 7-footer, possesses good height for his position and can have a distinct height advantage over many NBA players combined with his perimeter game...Solid shooter at this point, but above average for a big man, has range up 20-feet...

Weaknesses: A rather inconsistent shooter at this stage, doesn't have a consistent release shot nor does he have good shooting mechanics, releases the ball from his chest...No post game which could be key as an asset to his game...Has very inconsistent scoring tools, and no real go-to reliable scoring asset...Reliant on his athleticism and height rather than his skill and polish to get things done... Subpar ballhandling skills, uses athleticism and height to get to the basket, can be prone to turnovers with strong defense...A tweener between the SF and PF positions, a bit tall and somewhat clumsy for the SF position due to lack of ballhandling polish, and lacks the strength, weight and tenacity most PFs have...Can afford to fill up his body with more weight...Biggest concern is injuries. Never seems to stay healthy, always puts himself in a precarious position where he is prone to injuries on the court, a huge issue for the NBA...
