Emmanuel Stephen

Stephen is one of the best defensive big men in the country. He's a gifted athlete with great size and a cut-up frame that should continue to expand in a college weight room. He runs the floor very well, gets off his feet easily as a leaper, can cover the court, and move laterally. He was the leading shot-blocker in the EYBL with over 3 per game and also a high-volume rebounder who finished among the league's top five in that category as well. His mobility allows him to not only protect the rim from a wide-radius and cover a lot of ground when rotating from the weak-side, but should also allow him to defend pick-and-rolls in different ways. Offensively, he needs to continue to develop both his hands and his fundamental skills, but he is capable of putting pressure on the rim as both a lob-threat and rim-runner in transition.
