Scouting Report

Assets
  • Brings a big, wide body to the paint. A feisty, scrappy player who isn't afraid to mix it up. Shows solid hands for a big guy for steals and put-backs.
Flaws
  • Not very fast or athletic. Isn't a great shot-blocker for a center. After being drafted so high and then disappointing, has had to deal with 'bust' tag.
Career Potential
  • Adequate energy big body off the bench.
