And here’s a dunk for good measure:

QUOTE:

On his experience at Gabriel Richard: "I’m really thankful for the opportunity I had to play at Gabriel RicMGoBluehard with these teammates and coaches. All of my individual success is because of that. I really feel blessed."

ANALYSIS

UM Hoops: “The thing I love about Eso is that he has a mid-range game. Looking back at the season there is really no one that has a pull-up jumper on this whole team. Manny loves to take it all the way to the hoop, Peedi loves the turnaround jumper, but there is no one that can get in the lane, pull-up, and knock it down.. The problem with Eso is that he is still only 6-foot-3 and there’s nothing he can do about that. Over the course of his career I think Eso will be one of those guys that just finds his way onto the floor despite his size.”
