Scouting Report

Assets
  • For a 7-footer he's very mobile, agile, and skilled. A good natural scorer with some range on his jumper. Flashes a solid mid-range game. Will block shots, and is a solid rebounder.
Flaws
  • Not a top-tier natural athlete. Takes too many outside shots, hurting his field-goal percentage. Is sometimes passive and can disappear for stretches.
Career Potential
  • Starting forward with upside.
