SIGNED - (2016) C Jordy Tshimanga

He has some bad weight on him. Definitely needs to get stronger and more explosive as he cuts his fat into muscle. He's a really good shot blocker and a big heavy guy in the paint, but barely has any ups to him and seems kind of slow in his reaction speed.

Most high school kids either have bad weight or no weight because of the lack of strength programs in highschool basketball.

He holds the 270 fairly well and i dont think it will take time to put a LOT of muscle on his big frame.

At 7'0, i dont expect him to have crazy ups but he does need to work on his basketball speed. He has only played for about 3 years, so i think it will increase.

The good news with this kid is that it is well documented he has an incredible work ethic and is smart. He hasn't made a B this year and taught himself English in a year. That will go a long way in him catching up. Plus we've seen the way the strength staff transformed Tai Webster's body... It gives me confidence they can definitely do that with Jordy. I'm glad he will have 4mo in the strength program and working with Kenya before the season starts.
