Honestly, I think the numbers this year are quite bad, but in high school, like there were really, really good reps. And I think the numbers are actually pretty okay in high school. If you go back and look at them, um,

He's excellent at being able to eat up that space and then on his gathers be able to maneuver around rim protectors and help defenders to be able to create real attempts at the basket and the ability to finish at the rim at a really high level as well, despite playing on a Rutgers team this year that outside of Ace Bailey does not have a lot of talent around him.
