Basketball is maybe the most difficult to project talent in when you’re looking at young players. Because so much of basketball is centered around size, and almost every major skill in the sport can be developed, some players are very difficult to get a read on. It’s hard to gauge too much when a player is still very early in their high school career, because they still have growing to do, both literally and from a basketball skill perspective.
I think that’s important to remember when looking at Ohio State’s newest commitment, 2021 power forward Kalen Etzler.
