Okay just a few days out from the draft and I am trying to get a read on this kid.
I think that he is a 30-60 type who could turn into a real steal.

I think that he has definite talent, and could end up as a good third tall or possible roving type player who plays up the ground.
He played primarily as a KPF at the champs and dominated early games, and there was a lot to like, strong mark, good skills, mobile. I have heard reports that he has pushed into the midfield at SANFL junior level and played quite well winning the ball, which would be impressive if true.
He is reasonably athletic, good endurance and can push up the ground, reasonable mobility and is quite agile, above average speed, yet by no means quick but not slow either. He has very strong hands and reads the play well. His skills are very good, he is a great kick at goal and very good at hitting targets. Smart and efficent is his ball use, and he could make a very good player.
The major issue in my book is where will he play.
KPF is probably not the best go as he is undersized. I am think either a third tall who can roam up the field and push on to a wing. Or a third tall defender who can shut an opponent down, help others out and provide very good rebound with his disposal. Or both and a utlity type.
Thoughts?
