Scouting Report
A legit 7-footer with great agility and dexterity for his size. Smooth and quick getting around the court; can hit the 3-pointer, run the floor like a forward, and pass the ball very capably. Works to improve, and flashes a nice hook shot. Plays somewhat like a shooting guard in a center's body. Not yet a shot blocker. Quite foul-prone, and needs to keep developing his post game (especially on the defensive end). Must bulk up for long-term successs and durability in the NBA.
Long Range Potential: Good-shooting big man with some rotational upside.
