Can’t find much on him. He is definitely a “below the horizon†recruit, depending on how you view Australia.. He’s 6’8â€, 195 pounds. Next Aririguzoh?

Level of competition in videos is weak.
Definitely a wing player. Likes to dribble and has a nice crossover as well as behind the back dribble.
Quick hands on D.

Missed posting this earlier this month when it was announced, but Leyi Adebayo was selected to represent Australia on their U-19 World Cup team, so we'll get our first look at him against some strong competition next month.
Australia is in Pool D, with Mali, Turkey, and Team USA. The USA team will feature the #1 prospect in the 2021 HS class Chet Holmgren, as well as 5 other top 100 recruits and a number of high major players who just completed their freshman years (most notably Purdue's Jaden Ivey). Don't know enough about the U19 Australian team to know if Adebayo is expected to play major minutes, but hopefully he gets some action against that level of competition

Adebayo played 10 minutes in Australia's 30 point win over Mali to open the U19 World Cup. He scored 2 points on 1/3 shooting (0/1 FT, 0/2 from 3). Definitely appears raw but looks comfortable in the open court with the ball in his hands, has good size and athleticism.
Australia will go up against Team USA tomorrow, who beat Turkey 83-54 today
