Scouting Journals for Adou Thiero

A late-bloomer, Adou Thiero has grown over six inches in the last year-plus, pushing him close to 6'6" at the conclusion of his high school career -- and he still has room to grow. Thiero is a two-way threat who uses his length to his advantage defensively, averaging 3.9 steals and 2.3 blocks per game as a senior. His jump shot remains a work in progress, shooting just 29% from three, though he averaged 52% from the field overall and 77% from the line. He's at his best attacking off the dribble and finishing through contact, drawing fouls at a high rate to earn opportunities at the free-throw line. His position and role at the next level remain in question as he's still stretching and filling out. Projected to grow as tall as 6'8", Thiero is a solid long-term piece with upside.
