Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the most athletic big men in the game's history, he's also a tenacious rebounder and shot-blocker who can dominate the paint in his own end. He is also nimble and agile, showing a great nose for steals.
Flaws
  • Offense has always been an afterthought and he is a liability at the charity stripe. Over the years injury and age have affected his once-formidable intensity and energy level.
Career Potential
  • Sometimes-dominant defense-first center.
