Boris is a player with outstanding athletic abilities...........has average size, he's long-limbed with a muscled frame and huge wingspan............really fast and an amazing leaper, can control his body when bumped............his ball handling skills are above average............can lead the break, goes coast to coast for amazing dunks and has good vision and selection to pass the ball in the lane............on half-court sets his first option is driving one on one to the hoop, and finish in traffic...........he's almost unstoppable thanks to his body control and leaping ability............able to dish the ball............can post up his man and slide along the baseline for power moves, reverse shots...........terrific offensive rebounder, can dunk everything thrown nearby the rim............a weakness is his shooting ability; he's not reliable even if he can hit the jumper coming off pick or in kick outs............occasionally hits the three-pointer............excellent defensive attitude, he overplays, gets steals, rebounds and swat shots............with that size and wingspan he can easily contest shots and passes............he has quick feet and strong legs to slide and stay with his man............can guard even smaller opponents............without any doubt he's the best French prospect............has size and talent, still he has a lot of work to do to increase his skills, especially in the shooting department............he's definitely a top prospect for any NCAA team............great future in Europe and, perhaps, no limits!
