Areas Of Excellence
Physical Rim Scoring
For Peat, the most apparent thing about him is his physicality as a player, especially when scoring. He certainly knows how to use his strength to bully his way to the rim for the finish. Peat can absolutely handle contact and get to the free-throw line. While Peat has the strength to deal with contact when going to the rim, he also has a great handle and body control when operating in the paint. Both aspects allow him to shake off defenders and get open looks at the basket. He even has the handling ability to start fast-breaks and to attack closeouts. Off the ball, Peat is just as effective in terms of his rim attack. He operates well as a cutter and in the pick-and-roll as the screener.
Impressive Passing Skill
Adjacent to his excellence as a paint threat is Peat’s great passing ability for his size. Peat has demonstrated solid passing vision, even making some high-level passes. He’s also been able to use his threat as an interior scorer to collapse defenses on him and create looks for his teammates.
Strong Defense And Rebounding
While Peat is primarily known for his interior scoring, he’s also a good defender and strong rebounder. His size and strength give him the versatility to guard multiple positions; specifically, both forward spots and smaller centers. He’s also shown flashes of being mobile enough to defend along the perimeter. What’s more impressive defensively is his utilization of his length as a playmaker. He’s constantly bothering passing lanes or shots put up by opposing players. In addition, Peat’s an amazing rebounder on both ends, using his size and strength to outmuscle others for the ball.
