Gets to ball out front with an uphill finish. Defensively, begins in a wide base with some bend in lower half. Keeps a low center of gravity while moving laterally. Short, choppy footwork when ranging to the ball. Lets ball travel deep into stance while funneling in. Exchanges into compact arm action with mostly high ¾ release.
