Scouting Report
A true 7-foot center with good agility and quickness for his size. Roams the paint and is very active, constantly contesting and blocking shots on 'D' and showing excellent finishing moves around the basket on offense. Displays good offensive touch in the low post, with the ability to both back in and face up. Not the rebounder his size would suggest, in part because he's not very fluid and he doesn't possess much upper body muscle mass. Doesn't have much shooting range at all, and struggles from the free throw line. Foul-prone, and can use better defensive fundamentals.
Long Range Potential: Raw but instinctive offensive center with solid upside.
