Evaluator: Brandon Clay
Location: Nike EYBL Session IV (Suwanee, Ga.)

Iyiola’s length at the position allows him to play a frontcourt spot. He’s having a solid EYBL season averaging 5.4 points, 6.9 rebounds per game. Iyiola has a knack for finding the ball off the glass despite his slender frame.

Evaluator: Jonathan Hemingway
Location: Bob Gibbons Invitational (Suwanee, Ga.)

Iyiola is now listed at 6-10 in the book. He is a legitimate combo post option for this Georgia Stars team. He has a frame that reminds me of Matur Maker. His greatest asset is his instincts on the glass. He seems to be a half step quicker than everyone else, which allows him to get rebounds without having to over power or jump over anyone. He did show some touch on the turnaround left block move.

Location: The Elite Preview (Marietta, Ga.)

Iyiola is a rangy option at the power forward position. He didn’t showcase a specialty here but was productive.

Date: March 15, 2014
Evaluator: Brandon Clay
Location: The Elite Preview (Norcross, Ga.)

Iyiola is a long power forward capable of rebounding the basketball. He showed some bounce and a good build for a young prospect. We didn’t see any interior offensive footwork here today.
