Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has impressive size and a great attitude. Keeps his game simple and can be counted on to stick up for his mates. Can play either defense or right wing.
Flaws
  • Lacks mobility, which prevents him from remaining in the lineup on a regular basis at any position. Doesn't have an offensive game to speak of.
Career Potential
  • Heavyweight enforcer.
