Adheke is a power forward who is built like a man. The left handed forward brings energy to the front line as well as a little skill. He showed a nice reverse pivot for a jumper today versus MoKan. He will run the court and rebound his position. He finished with 14 points and 6 rebounds in this game.

Adheke is a strong-framed option at the power forward spot. He plays with energy around the rim and isn’t backing down from MoKan Elite at all. He’s similar to Tyler Cook with a little bounce natural athleticism. Adheke showed touch hitting a left-hand floater at 6 feet. He’s averaging 7.1 points, 6.3 rebounds a game in 16 EYBL games.

Adheke is built much like his Georgia Stars 16s teammate Abdul Ado, but he is not as coordinated as Ado. He is physical specimen and provides athleticism in the lane.
