Hao Fu, 6' 9, C, Liaoning, China
Fu put together a very productive tournament, averaging 30.4 points, 13.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 6.9 turnovers per 40 minutes pace adjusted on 57.1% from the field.
The strong, below the rim lefty proved to be one of the more polished post scorers in the camp, finding a way to get to his left handed jump hook while finishing around the rim effectively despite his lack of lift. Fu found ways to score and was seemingly always around the ball in the interior. He displayed very good footwork on the block and even mixed in a few advanced moves inside.
Fu isn't much of a threat from the perimeter with his line-drive jumper, but he found a way to be effective in the paint while crashing the offensive and defensive glass, and making hustle plays as well.
Fu certainly has his limitations. He's not a great defender, he can be very careless with the ball (although he has some passing ability), and he's an undersized center who plays below the rim and doesn't have much range on his jumper. But with that said, Fu competed and found ways to score on the interior by way of offensive rebounds, post finishes, and drop offs.
Fu doesn't have much of a ceiling due to his physical limitations but his skill level, production and motor are without a doubt worth noting.
