Scouting Report
Athletic, intense, and a bruiser who plays bigger than his size. Has a great motor and excellent wingspan. Can intimidate much bigger players with blocks and rebounding, but is also quick enough to stay with fast forwards. Foul-prone. Has a history of serious knee problems, which becomes even more of an issue considering his size and role. Needs to keep developing his shooting stroke from mid-range.
Long Range Potential: Gritty journeyman post player.
