Scouting Report
He can be unstoppable on offense when he gets the ball on the low block. Defensively, he's a high-potential rebounder and shot-blocker with the height needed for the NBA paint. He already has fantastic muscular bulk and his wingspan and reach are fantastic even for a big man. Has big hands too, helping him with blocks and boards. Unpolished: he passes little on offense and is foul-prone on 'D.' Not much of a leaper, and he isn't very agile either (which may curtail some of his immense defensive potential). Must get quicker. Additionally, he has no 3-point shot and so far is awful on free throws.
Long Range Potential: True center with strong defensive upside.
