Location: Marshall County Hoop Fest (Benton, Ky.)
Nwuba is a strong interior presence. He has legitimate size to patrol the lane and be an enforcer. He is not a primary scoring option, but will score put backs and alley oops. His 3 point, 6 rebound, 4 foul performance versus Aspire kind of sums up his game right now.

Nwuba is an imposing force on the interior. He has a defensive end type of build strength wise. While his offensive game is still rounding out, Nwuba has been impressive around the glass.

Nwuba is a post player who runs the floor and plays with poise on the low block. He showed a nice ball fake and up and under with his back to the basket.

Nwuba is a willing screener from the post position. He showcased good footwork on the post catch. Nwuba battled with Chris Lewis on the interior.

Nwuba showed great promise here today as an interior player. He has great lift and an ideal build for a post player. He played 3 minutes in a match up versus Carlisle School scoring his only bucket that he attempted.

Nwuba is a problem on the inside. With a frame like Daniel Giddens (GA-15), he is an imposing prospect on the interior. While Nwuba is still developing skill wise, he is an explosive athlete.
