Achille Junior-Elouma

PROFILE

FIBA U16 European Championship- August 2024
By Artau Pascual

His frame is wide, and he still has plenty of margin to fill it in. High athletic upside that manifests in his game in non-contact situations and in the open floor.

On the offensive end, Elouma was inconsistent and passive at times. However, he managed to display his qualities in transitions and fastbreaks. Moves with long strides, gets to the rim easily and his touch around the restricted area isn’t bad. Shot needs a lot of work. Handles aren’t tight, but he left some glimpses of advanced ball control and his coordination and shiftiness looked fine. Nice flashes as a passer in drive and dish and transitions.

Defenisvely, he posssesses the qualities to be a good perimeter defender. Lowers his center of gravity, creates deflections against ball-handlers and uses his length and lateral quickness smartly. He also has the potential to be a good helpside defender because of how intuitive he is and his vertical leap.

First look- January 2024

Athletic wing. Explosive and vertical. Has some high slashing potential and shows nice touch and presence as a finisher in the paint. Has a little of tunnel vision with the ball in his hands. Sometimes he's a step slow at reading the pass. On the defensive end, he has good lateral quickness and the ideal type of length to be a switchable perimeter defender.
