Outlook
Lionel is a great rebounder, has the ability to rebound with bigger opponents, a great slasher who will aggressively attack the basket and finish because of his athletic ability (36 inch vertical jump). He knows how to use his body effectively against smaller defenders on the block, and, plays above the rim against bigger defenders or can score from the perimeter. He is a great defender on and off the ball with a long wing span that allows him to disrupt a lot of plays. Lionel has a great understanding of the game and is a leader. He is a good ball handler, and has an excellent passing ability and can play the 1 as well. An accurate shooter, he has a good mid-range game and effective 3-point shot (43% at SUNO) Lionel is a hard working, very coachable player who is a good teammate.
