Block Sustain: At times, he is shaken off blocks at the second level and can struggle to maintain balance when defenders attempt to shed, limiting his ability to consistently finish blocks in space.

Change of Direction: Shows limitations redirecting against defenders in space, which can impact his effectiveness when asked to mirror or adjust to sudden movement.
