Aura and mentality."My first impression of Adetomiwa was probably seeing a video of him power-cleaning 405 in high school, and just from then on out, he's just been a dominant force." Hull said in a Zoom interview with WGN. "He's always been somebody that you notice him when he walks into a room, for sure. He's got that energy. He's got that aura."
