Analysis:
02/21/2012
Yarou is limited on offense and more than makes up for it on the other end. He is a leader on defense, very vocal and active. As a rebounder/shot-blocker Yarou is a first round talent. He defends the paint very well and is an intimidating force down low.
This year Yarou has been more aggressive on offense and is getting results. His scoring has gone up as well as his free-throw attenpts.
The big man has improved his offensive game a bit this season and is not as one dimensional as he has been in the past. Yarou is a leader on defense and brings a specific skill-set to the table as a rebounder and a shot-blocker. He has an NBA ready frame with solid strength, but is limited overall.
