Scouting Report
Strong, long, and physical in the post. A true center who knows how to use his big frame to get position at both ends of the floor. A good shot-blocker and rebounder. Decisive on offense, attacking the hoop for offensive boards and putbacks. Has a solid mid-range jumper. A bit stiff in his movements and isn't a fluid athlete. Not much of a threat to run the full court and / or set up teammates. Gets foul-prone at times, in part due to middling athleticism. Not one to create his own shot and depends on pick-and-rolls and putbacks. Not a 3-point threat.
Long Range Potential: Bruising depth center with good role player potential.
