Scouting Report

Assets
  • A rare mix of size, toughness, and great hands. Plays a feisty low-post game as a rebounder. Also a very good outside shooter who can be counted on for regular scoring and hits his free throws.
Flaws
  • Not a jaw-dropping athlete, contributing to his defensive limitations (including foul-proneness). Sometimes streaky with his shot. A bit injury-prone.
Career Potential
  • Quality offensive center.
  • Awards2006NBA - Played in the All-Star Game2003NBA - Member of NBA Championship Team
