ANALYSIS

Scouts, Inc.: “…Christian plays a very efficient, and college ready, brand of basketball. He isn’t going to dominate the game with his scoring but has some inside-out skills and impacts the game in a variety of ways. He’s a capable scorer on the block with a little jump hook and can also step out to 18 feet and shoot. He’s strong and very athletic off of two feet, bodies up well defending the post, and rebounds out of his area…”

Kevin Keatts, Hargrave H.C.: “He’s a combo forward that has ability to score inside and out. Super athletic, rebounds the ball at the highest point. Great competitor” … “What makes him really good is that his motor runs all the time. He plays above the rim and he competes. I’ve had a few guys like him and they’ve always been successful.”

Chris O’Connor, Bellevue H.C.: “Colton is super-athletic … He’s extremely long and plays like he’s 6-8. He can alter shots, is an effective offensive rebounder and does what is needed to make us a better team.”

Dylan, UMHoops.com: “Christian’s scouting report is very similar to a taller version of Zack Novak without three point shooting range. He should be a more able finisher when receiving the ball as a cutter due to his better size and athleticism. He looks like a lock to be slotted in the four position.”

Joseph Treutlein, DraftExpress.com: “…He’s a solid athlete with a good second bounce around the basket, and he constantly puts all his physical tools to work with his relentless style of play. Christian does the majority of his damage on the defensive end, attacking the glass, hustling back in transition, attacking passing lanes, and playing strong, fundamentally sound post defense. Offensively, he appears a bit limited, not showing much prowess on his perimeter shot, and relying mostly on a turnaround jumper in the post, which he has limited success with. He is good on the offensive glass and finishing around the basket on cuts, but he clearly has a ways to go here.”

Ben Eisenhardt, Bainbridge H.C.: “Colton is a ‘pick-your-poison’ type of player. He presents so many matchup problems, can run the floor and finish in traffic.”

Dave Dickerson, Former H.C. of Tulane: “He is a great rebounder and his scoring will come with his activity and with his rebounding ability. Colton is probably going to be on the same level as athleticism as Terrance Beasley.”
