Blaise Mbargorba
Center
Highstown, New Jersey
Ht: 7'0"
Wt: 215
Class: 2012
Currently holds offers from St. Joes and Vanderbilt.
Strengths:
Mbargorba is physically gifted center with size, length and a solid frame along with corresponding mobility and athleticism. He runs the court well, is very agile, and quick off his feet for a player his size. He has a strong motor and good nose for the ball on both ends. He calls for the ball on the block, goes to get it off the glass, and is an excellent weak-side shot blocker. He also has soft hands and decent touch, passing instincts, and good understanding of how to bury his man on pick and roll action.
Weaknesses:
Mbargorba has made great strides in the last two years but is still undeniably raw. He has decent touch but still lacks a go to move with his back to the basket and tends to give away positioning when he catches the ball in the post. Defensively, he over commits when rotating from the weak-side of the floor and can be a little emotional at times. He also is a low percentage free-throw shooter.
Bottom Line:
While Mbargorba is still raw, he has made great strides in recent years and now boasts a big time frame and rapidly developing floor game on both ends.
