“He started the weekend with a bang, going for back-to-back thirty-point performances,” On3’s Jamie Shaw wrote. “Howard shot the ball well from beyond the arc, but he also showcased some athletic twitch around the basket. What stood out later in the week for Howard was his instincts on defense. Routinely, he would switch down a line up to guard on the block, where he would gain leverage and use his length to give the opposing big fits. Howard did not have much of a reputation coming into the weekend, but should be one of the big winners of the Memphis EYBL stop.”
