"I have known him very well for several years because he is the same age as my son Jacob," Ulm's youth coordinator Chris Ensminger said of Anigbata. "He has an enormous body length and wingspan. As a result, he has the ability to defend any position. He comes from a good youth program and is therefore very well-versed both technically and tactically. Alec is characterized by his professional mindset, his defense and his ability to make baskets."
