Jojo Tugler

With outstanding athletic ability, tireless enthusiasm, and the reported 7-foot-6 ape arm, Jojo Tugler has become a noteworthy player in this tournament. His defensive potential is his main selling point, as his height, lateral speed, and athletic ability make him an all-around defender who can defend multiple positions. He already has a huge influence on the defensive end, averaging 2.1 blocks per game, which further highlights his advantage in frame protection.
However, concerns about Tugler remain significant, especially on the offensive end. As a scorer, his skills are very rough and limited, almost a pure terminator. Despite his incredible arm span and athletic ability, his height of 6 feet 8 is still relatively small for a pure interior length, and he cannot provide too much scoring threat - in Houston, he averaged 22 minutes per game but only scored 5.9 points. And the limitations of his offensive end have also been highlighted in terms of his offensive efficiency; Although he is a skilled receiver, he struggles with all other finishing performances except for dunks. Once his dunks are excluded, his layup percentage is only 44%.
For a tall person who is 6 feet 8, this can definitely be considered an important issue. Another noteworthy aspect is his fouls - he commits three fouls per game within a limited time frame, which affects his ability to stay on the field.
And there are also big doubts about his shooting feel - he has made 3 out of 9 three-point shots this season (with very few shot samples), and his free throw shooting percentage is very poor, hovering around 51% in the past two seasons.
Despite various offensive concerns, Tugler's physical fitness, defensive upper limit, and frame protection level make him a reliable flank with upper limits. His enthusiasm, defensive skills, and ability to defend multiple positions make his role in the NBA very clear, even though his offense still requires long-term polishing.
