I present you Bruno Fernando
6'10 19 year old freshman (from Angola via some US prep powerhouse highschools) that can jump out of the gym, actually has some decent moves and nice touch on his jumper/FTs. Currently averaging 10.8/5.6/2 blocks in 19.7 mins a game on 63% shooting while shooting 72% from the FT line
lol nbadraft.net and all but a decent writeup on him

Bruno Fernando
Continuing with the trend of freshmen bigmen, Fernando has been an absolute revelation for Maryland. He's an explosive athlete who runs the floor like a deer and shows a natural willingness to play physical and seek contact for rebounds. He attacks the rim with reckless abandon, making recurrent assaults on the rim with vicious dunks. Fernando is originally from Angola, having come over to play prep ball at Monteverde and IMG Academy. He was a little overlooked in high school, being rated as a top 50-70 prospect by most recruiting services.
Fernando, who turned 19 in mid August is just scratching the surface of his abilities. He shows unusual hand eye coordination, and has excellent touch on his shot. He still needs time to learn how to get shots off within the flow of games, but his 68% ft shooting (19-28) through his first 8 games is an excellent sign. He's averaging 10.6 ppg and 5.1 rpg and does a good job of staying within his comfort zone offensively.
He makes a lot of ally oop dunks, but also shows some innate footwork in the post, using spin moves and finishing with touch. He has an effective hook shot that he converts with regularity. His 2.4 blocked shots in just 18.8 minutes per game is another positive sign. With a massive wingspan, he has the ability to be a difference maker on the defensive end if he continues to improve and become disciplined and can stay out of foul trouble.
We may be jumping the gun with him as a one-and-done late first rounder, but having seen his development from the 2014 U17 World Championships in Dubai, he's a kid with great potential, reminiscent of Clint Capela at the same age, who with the right development could become something special.
