Strengths
Very good shooter. Moves well without the ball. Good shot selection and IQ. Can score off the bounce. Crafty offensive player. Rebounds well from the perimeter. Reads passing lanes well. Good help side defender.
Weaknesses
Limited athletically. Still developing as a primary ball handler and playmaker. Room to improve as an on ball defender. Gambles at times too much. Doesn’t cover a lot of ground defensively.
Overview
Youngblood has been one of the best players for the Hawks Elite this spring/summer. He is a natural scorer and can heat up in a hurry. The 6’2 guard has done well to improve as a playmaker and on ball defender. A big July will give him a lot of momentum heading into the school year.
