Weaknesses
The biggest questions surrounding Achiuwa revolve around his skill level and whether he can spread out his overall skill set.
For starters, Achiuwa’s shooting stroke is far from a refined asset in his skill package as he went 13-for-40 from long range during his freshman campaign with the Tigers. And given that he connected on 59.9 percent of his 187 free throw attempts as well, there are plenty of tweaks and modifications to be made for Achiuwa to be a functional shooter and/or floor spacer.
Secondly, while Achiuwa has shown an ability to drive to the basket with the ball in his hands, he’s far from a reliable shot creator or playmaker and is lacking in his overall decision making. His 0.34 assist-to-turnover ratio at Memphis is very indicative of that.
Whether the Nigerian international will be able to develop either one or both of those skills to open up his potential to be a multi-faceted threat will determine what kind of role he can or will play at the next level. And being able to develop the proper discipline needed to excel on both ends of the floor will be crucial in this regard as well.
