Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a huge and powerful frame with long arms. Very quickness around the hoop, with great hands. Explosive, and can dominate opponents under the basket at both ends, piling up points, rebounds, and blocks.
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
  • Cornerstone All-Star center or power forward.
