Mathias Lessort
Scouting Report
A high-potential defender, thanks to elite athleticism, explosiveness, and energy for his size. Really gets after it on 'D,' showing excellent quickness, agility, and length for everything from steals to blocks to closeouts. Also does a great job running the floor in transition, and can sky over opponents for big dunks. Physical too. A bit undersized at center and not very skilled at power forward. Not much of an offensive option with the exception of alley-oops, put-backs, and lane-filling. Needs major work on his shooting stroke, and is still fairly unpolished in terms of fundamentals at both ends of the floor.
Long Range Potential: Athletic, explosive, defense-first big man with solid potential.
