Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has good size, sound two-way instincts and a little scoring upside. Owns a good, heavy shot. Is usually intense and can play all three forward positions. Is more of a skilled grinder than a constant offensive threat.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have great hands and is somewhat inconsistent in the offensive part of the game, so he doesn't put up the numbers he's capable of producing. Doesn't always use his size to the best of his capabilities.
Career Potential
  • Versatile two-way forward.
