Scouting Report on Vince Iwuchukwu

On3’s Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton had this to say about Iwuchukwu:

“Iwuchukwu’s best ball is way out in front of him. He flashes the ability to athletically run the floor with very good stamina, is a rim protector from day one at the high-major level, and plays well above the rim. Has shown a very good feel and understanding of offensive basketball at times but is a work in progress. He will need to develop a go-to move to take the next step. If that takes time at the next level, he will be a talented rim runner and rim protector that flashes upside offensive. His jump shot mechanics are solid and has displayed good touch from 10-12 feet on the baseline.”
