Cliff Alexander at the LeBron James Skills Academy

Alexander has long been known as a supremely physical player who is going to try and dunk everything, and he's definitely still doing that. But he's improved his body and is showing off more game. Jump hooks are coming more often, and he's looking real comfortable on short jumpers. He dominates the glass and really understands how to seal his man and hold position while presenting a good target for guards' passes.
