Canada2024-2025 OUTLOOK
The big question for the big Center is has his range expanded? Off-season reports have mentioned his work from mid-range which would finally complete Alis journey to become the most complete big. On paper, the bigs will have an adjustment ahead of them with the bigger court and extra floor spacing but the savvy vet should be amongst the bigs to adjust quickest to his new environment. Ali finished a respectable 9th place in last years GN points rankings, with an ADP of 13, it may be time for captains to reevaluate what they perceive to be his real impact on the court.
PLAYER DESCRIPTION
Ali does all the things that don’t show up on the stat sheet. Pin point passing from the high post, picks that stop defenders in their tracks, early defensive rotations to fill gaps and a constant motor that takes no plays off. It takes a keen eye to appreciate the impact Ali has on both end of the court.
