Same size as Almonor and I wish Almonor had Davidson's quickness, aggressiveness and ball handling skills.
#2 ranked player in Kentucky. 32 ranked PF, 84 overall. Looks like he’s got game and a nice college frame. I could see him being like Noah if he has an outside game to match. Don’t see him shoot much except the corner 3. Let’s see how his senior year goes and where he ends up ranked and stuff. I like his game.
Does he rebound and play defense, because his offense looked average at best. I don’t think he has the physical tools. We are Ky. We should be able to get athletes who can shoot and defend, get their own shot if need be, etc. If he is a fifth recruit for development maybe, but your not winning championships with him as a starter.
How quick is he? Can he get a big lift off the floor. Two things that are a must in a PF is quickness and lift. Being able to shoot is a given to be considered prior to quickness & lift. We need kids that have enough quicknees to create their own shot. We have a roster full of spot up shooters that can't create off the dribble. Kids who can create their own shot are the same kids that can play defense
I love to keep kids in state and hope this young man has a nice D-1 career. That said, we are in heavy on #2 OVR 2026 PF Mikka Muurinen (https://247sports.com/player/miikka-muurinen-46144609/) and have also offered the #1 OVR PF (Tyran Stokes, who might actually end up as a SF). Offers are also on the table to thee T10 SF's (although Holt might be more a a SG and I highly doubt Ariza leaves the land of fruits & nuts to land in LEX). I'd rather grab a 5-Star PF and a Portal PF than simply favor a project because he lives in state. Let Davidson start at WKU/Morehead/Murray and if he becomes a stud bring him in via the portal as a Jr.
He is a good shooter, at least in the clips. He can finish at the rim with both hands and can easily dunk from off feet. Has ball-handling skills also. I like him offensively. Can he play defense? Most high-schoolers his size don’t have to.
