Scouting Report

Assets
  • Explosive, and can dominate opponents under the basket at both ends, piling up points, rebounds, and blocks. Has a huge and powerful frame with long arms. Very quick around the hoop, with great hands.
Flaws
  • Injury-prone. Not a fantastic athlete, despite his explosive quickness. Not a very active passer. Needs to be better from the charity stripe.
Career Potential
  • All-Star center or power forward.
