Strengths:
French is a throwback style power forward with a strong body and physical style. He has a long history of being strong and powerful and because he was an early bloomer physically, some people anticipated he might top out early, but to his credit he's continued to develop his skill set and expand his game and evolved into a high-major prospect as a result. He plays very hard, especially in the paint, where he can elevate through contact to rebound and finish plays. He's developed into a consistent mid-range shooter and can also put the ball on the floor for one or two bounces in straight lines.
Weaknesses:
He's slightly undersized to play the power forward spot at the highest levels, and much more comfortable inside of 12-15 feet than he is out to the arc. With his physical tools already maxed out, he needs to maintain his commitment to developing his skill set, establishing a go-to move with his back to the basket and become a threat beyond the mid-range area.
Bottom Line:
He's strong, physical, athletic and committed to getting better and so the bottom line is that he's just productive and a better long-term prospect than most typically give him credit for.
