Scouting Report

Assets
  • Highly skilled and blessed with excellent instincts, LaFrentz can hit the three like a guard but is also a gifted shot-blocker.
Flaws
  • Has a questionable motor and is injury-prone. As his career has gone on he has slowed down dramatically. While he still has the talent for the occasional good game, his minutes are usually limited to short spurts. Like a lot of centers, he's not much of a passer.
Career Potential
  • A talented but inconsistent reserve.
