Scouting Report
A focused shot-blocker with great anticipation; also altered many shots and could change an opposing team's offensive approach. Brought a fantastic wingspan and was pretty nimble for a big man. Tooks care of the ball when he had it. Wasn't much of a rebounder for a center. Was injury-prone throughout his career. Didn't have many offensive moves or much of an outside shot, and on offense has become mostly limited to setting picks.
Long Range Potential: Excellent shot-blocking defensive specialist.
