One of the things I noticed in his highlights, and these are against B1G and Big East teams, is how quick a jumper he is and how often he beats guys into the air and dunks. As we know, a lot of bigs sometimes struggle when the ball is below their shoulders to get up to the rim without fumbling. He does not.

He's got insane body control for a guy that long.

In the PnR last year (something he only did 12% of the time, mind blowing) he averaged 1.31 PPP (on a play that never ends in a 3PT, which makes it even more impressive because your max PPP is basically 2.00) and was in the 85th percentile nationally.

He'll now be almost exclusively doing that.

Excellent observation. One of my pet peeves is the uncoordinated big who puts it on the floor unnecessarily instead of taking it directly to the basket (Bediako had an issue with this early on).

I hadn't noticed this attribute for Cliff, but now I think I like him even more.
