SCOUTING REPORT
Strengths: Christmas is a great all-around big man. He has incredible length with a nearly seven and a half foot wingspan. That length allows him to shoot over taller big men, and his jump shot is no joke, as he can hit the mid-range jumper very well for a center. Christmas is also creative around the rim and is a good finisher. He blocks shots well thanks to that same length mentioned earlier, and he is able to cover larger players thanks to his strong frame.

Weaknesses: A lot of people wrote off Christmas due to his small arsenal of shots and his lack of height for a center. However, he hides those weaknesses very well. Christmas also is considered old for a prospect at 23 years old. He will have to show he can do everything right if he wants to make an NBA roster this June, but he’s very capable of doing just that.
