Scouting Report

Assets
  • Known as 'D.J.,' he brings excellent length and a legit 7-foot frame to the court. He's active and improving as a shot-blocker, and takes up a lot of space in the paint.
Flaws
  • He's foul-prone and still somewhat raw despite advancing age. Needs to be more of a rebounder. Small-ball skills (passing, shooting, etc.) need work.
Career Potential
  • Backup defensive center.
