Scouting Report
A defensive dominator who owned the paint. Used his exceptional length to corral rebounds and was an intimidating weakside shot-blocker. Did a nice job avoiding fouls. Offensively he had a solid short-range game & did a good job on put-backs. Wasn't a liability on free throws. Offensively he was limited, and didn't do a great job creating his own shot. Never had much of a perimeter jumper to draw opposing defenses out. Over the years he became very injury-prone. Was more a great help defender than a bruising man-to-man stopper.
Long Range Potential: Star defensive center.
