Scouting Report

Assets
  • Najera is a hard-working defensive specialist and rebounder. Has an extremely high motor and can be a pest to opponents. Can hit the open jumper. Versatile.
Flaws
  • Has a center's game in a small forward's body. Uses up his fouls quickly. Not much of a passer or free-throw shooter. Somewhat injury-prone, in part due to his style.
Career Potential
  • Reserve/energy forward.
