More on Ivan Rabb

Below is Jonathan Givony of the Draft Express on Ivan Rabb:
Recruiting Rankings: 247: #4, ESPN: #1, Scout: #3, Rivals: #3

Strengths:
-Terrific frame for a 16 year old
-6-9 in shoes with a 7-1 wingspan
-Very good athlete
-Fantastic rebounder on both ends of the floor. Averaged 16.3 rebounds per-40 in 18 Nike EYBL games this season
-Very good finisher around the basket. Quick off his feet. Good second bounce. Dunks everything
-Gets to the line at a very good rate
-Soft touch around the basket
-Some budding post moves and ball-handling ability
-Good timing as a shot-blocker. 4.3 blocks per-40 at the EYBL

Weaknesses
-Still raw offensively
-Has a great frame but still a long ways away from filling out (expected considering his age)
-Doesn't have the strength to establish himself with his back to the basket
-Very left hand dominant with his finishes. Must continue to work on off-hand
-Very poor free throw shooter. 53% from free throw line at EYBL

Outlook: Young, developing big man with significant upside. Still in a very early stage but shows a lot of intriguing attributes to go along with a terrific physical profile.
