Scouting Report
Dominant in the offensive post: has a soft touch and creative moves to get high-percentage buckets. Has the true center size NBA teams covet: not just tall, but massive all-round, with a huge wingspan and big hands. Mobile for a true pivot and can run the floor impressively. Shows good defensive upside too. Struggles shooting from the mid-range out, and doesn't help his team from the charity stripe. Not all that explosive or as defensively physical as he can be. Has been in some off-court trouble, and maturity is a question mark.
Long Range Potential: Powerhouse true center with star potential.
