'14 IL SF Milik Yarbrough

Unread post by ace »

The spelling on this guy's name is all over the place- Malik/Milik, Yarbrough/Yarborough, but it's Milik Yarbrough. He seems to have already taken an official or two (with lots of great things to say about Auburn in particular). No idea the level of interest, but



ESPN has him as a 3 star recruit (and also as Malik)

Strengths:
Milik is a power wing. He can "big body" most kids in his age group and take them wherever he wants on the court and then score. Yarbrough has a solid skill set. He has a decent handle and is a streaky shooter with range to 20 feet. He is an average basketball athlete right now. He is tough and can be dominant when motivated. Milik is versatile and can play small forward, power forward or shooting guard. He is a natural scorer and is a tremendous post up player with his skill and strength.

Weaknesses:
Milik needs to get in a little better physical condition. His physique does have some roundness to it. He plays hard most of the time but could increase the consistency of his effort. He is a good rebounder for a wing. Defensively Yarbrough is average right now but he has the intensity and physical prowess to be much better.

Bottom Line:
Milik kind of puts you in the mind of a young Mark Aguirre. He can score and has some warrior in him. Once he gets in better shape and learns to be consistent in his effort he will be one of the best scorers in the 2014 class.
