One of the best leapers to enter draft since Tyrus Thomas.
Has one of the best vertical leaps for big man that we have
ever seen. Congo has received a bad rap lately, due largely
to draft busts Saer Sene, Malick Badiane, and Desagana
Diop. But unlike former countrymen whom showed little
in terms of offensive skills, Ibaka has a decent jump shot,
sometimes extending out behind the arc. Excellent form in
his shot makes us believe that some NBA can develop him
in a weapon in their offense.
Long arms and leaping ability make him a terrific shot
blocker, often times making up for being out of position of
giving up the block to stronger opponents. Best overall
part of his game is his attacking of the glass. Relentless
rebounder who gets his rebounds due to his leaping ability,
rather than relying on proper defense positioning.
Currently playing the Spain League for L'Hospitalet. European scouts for BestProPicks.com still have major
questions regarding his overall coordination. Currently to
weak to compete in NBA for 82 game schedule, but hard
worker who will do whatever it takes to make it in NBA.
