Scouting Report

Assets
  • A unique talent: he's a legitimate 7-footer with one of the purest shooting strokes in NBA history. An elite natural scorer and tireless worker, and a gritty rebounder.
Flaws
  • While a good athlete with solid quickness, he's not very fast or fluid. Only an average defender. Sometimes forces shots when he should pass. Sometimes struggles when all eyes are on him in clutch situations.
Career Potential
  • Perennial All-Star and MVP candidate.
