Scouting Report

Assets
  • Physically one of the biggest players in NBA history, but also one of its most skilled at the center position. Has great hands, excellent agility, and a sweet shooting stroke. A hard-working competitor who dominates at both ends and shows great court instincts and awareness.
Flaws
  • Despite good agility he's not fast or terribly athletic. Injuries (especially to his feet) have become a growing concern. Sometimes he lapses into a finesse game when he could be overpowering opponents.
Career Potential
  • Perennial All-Star, potential league MVP.
