Scouting Report
Brought an uncommon and excellent toolbox of talent to the court: superb court vision, the mobility to play guard if needed, the size to play well in the post (even at center), and a scorer's mentality. Passed well for a big man, and provided on-court leadership when motivated. Could confidently carry his team's offense for stretches. Spent too much time on the perimeter, and wasn't much of a long-range shooter to justify it. Was dismal on free throws. Wasn't much of a shot-blocker. Could be erratic on and off the court.
Long Range Potential: Former star playmaker, with rare versatility.
