Summary:
Mark Vital is an athletic, high-motor forward that will constantly outwork his opponents on the glass and on the defensive end to help his team get rebounds and stops in games. He’s not the most dynamic offensive player, but he is a blue-collar type of player that will get his team tough rebounds and he is also a good defensive player that can guard multiple positions. He helped his team win the National Championship in 2021, and he currently projects to be a borderline second round candidate in the 2021 draft.
