PROFILE

Tournoua Filias U15- July 2023
By Felix Hilgart

Athletic Wing with very long arms, legs and good size. Above average athletically, very explosive first step. Uses changes of speed and direction very well. Gets to the rim almost at will, whether he is used as a ball handler in pick&roll or when attacking closeouts. Shows his willingness and excellent – even surprisingly creative – passing abilities to set up his teammates. He is good at keeping his head up on drives and good use of the in- and out-dribbling to get around defenders with long strides. His shooting mechanics look OK, just a little stiff on free-throws, but still very raw out of the game. Left-hand finishing is also questionable at this point. Defensively he uses his length and mobility well to play in the passing lanes and is a splendid on-ball defender. Shows good instincts on helpside-rotations, just reacts a little too slow at times. Mostly plays in a defensive stance. Has the athletic potential to be an elite rebounder at his position but lacks instinct and tends to lose sight of his man when the ball is in the air.

General overview- February 2023

Talented perimeter player with great physical attributes. His change of pace is good, and knows how to slow down the pace when the ball is in his hands. He is good scoring as a pick and roll ball handler and can create good looks for himself at different levels. His mechanics look clean and the fluidity and coordination he has make of him a good slasher. He does good reads as a passer, mainly when it comes to feeding the roller. On the defensive end, he has the tools to be a solid point of attack defender, and as of right now he can take care of different types of perimeter players, as well as he's active jumping passing lanes and creating deflections.
