Scouting Report

Assets
  • Brings excellent mobility, skill, and touch for a player who is 7-foot-3. His mid-range jumper is consistent and fluid. A good shot-blocker and superb free-throw shooter.
Flaws
  • Is more a finesse center than a power guy and doesn't dominate at either end like he could. Disappears sometimes. As he ages, nagging injuries and fatigue are becoming more common.
Career Potential
  • Above-average center.
