Stats

Strengths: Might be the most athletically gifted big in this years draft. Ibaka's no step vert leap is probably better than 90% of the players max vert leap. With only a short time playing organized ball Ibaka has shown the ability to learn at a quick pace, and is now competing with players at one of the highest levels and is excelling. He has developed a nice little assortment of post moves, and jump shots out to about 15-18ft. He has a strong inside game and good footwork near the basket. Very quick off his feet, and a better than average rebounder.


Weaknesses: Ibaka is still raw when it comes to organized basketball. Sometimes he looks unstoppable and other times he looks lost. It's amazing how far he has come but watching him play you can see how much further he needs to go to develop a complete NBA PF type of game. The good thing is that he is developing to be a specific position player. You will see a lot of players in college have the size for one position but the skills of another. Ibaka needs to add about 30lbs of muscle. He tends to get pushed around. A lot has to do with experience though rather then strength, because for a 220lbs player he is strong.
