Scouting Report
Was able to dominate for stretches as a rebounder. Was a fluid and smooth post player on offense who scored well from the mid-range and flashed some solid post moves. Hit his free throws. Could play center as well as power forward effectively. Inconsistency dogged him throughout his NBA career. Was not a great shot-blocker and was sometimes a little too passive on offense. Was somewhat injury-prone and age eventually sapped some of his trademark energy (and a lot of his production).
Long Range Potential: Quality big man and post player.
