Scouting Report
He was elite as a low-post scorer and rebounder: explosive and powerful bulling his way to easy buckets and rebounds, and he took high-percentage shots. Employed his huge wingspan well, and was masterful using his body to get position. Was nimble too for his size, with great hands and touch around the basket. Was injury-prone throughout his career. A bit short for a power forward and wasn't a top-tier defender, resulting in his tendency to get foul-prone for stretches. Never much developed a three-point shot to stretch defenses.
Long Range Potential: Bruising star power forward.
