Ekiyor is an active rebounder with good bounce in his legs. His offensive skill set is still a work in progress but Ekiyor makes things happen with his activity / energy in the paint.

Ekiyor turned a solid performance in a game where his team ran away with it down the stretch. He demonstrated his specialties of scoring around the rim with either hand and rebounding in the paint. He like to seal and bang in the lane.

Ekiyor puts me in the mind of Daniel Giddens (GA-15), Ohio State verbal, because of frame and skill set. He may lack the physical strength that Giddens has at this editor services moment, but his length and mobility are very similar. He did not show any range on the offensive end, but he hard hedged the ball screen impressively here today.

Ekiyor is a tough matchup at the power forward position. He showed that he can hedge on the pick and roll then finish at the rim on the other end. He put down a left handed half hook with a bump and a difficult right handed turnaround 8 foot jumper essay about my mother in french on the fade.

In limited minutes in the half that I watched, Ekiyor showed his versatility as a defender. He showed that he could guard the arc while also being a legit post rebounder too.
