Scouting Report
Was an intense competitor and an enthusiastic defender. Didn't back down from anyone and provided grit and even intimidation in the paint. Passed well for a big man and had a nose for steals. In his prime was one of the NBA's most explosively athletic big men ever. Had a long history of injuries and lost the explosive, above-the-rim domination he once had. Was never the rebounder his athleticism suggested he should have been. Struggled at the free-throw line. Sometimes his intensity overflowed, leading to technical fouls and distractions.
Long Range Potential: Longtime above-average starting power forward.
