Scouting Report
'Big Ben' brought truly rare and dominant ability as a rebounder and shot-blocker, making him one of the best defenders in NBA history. Simply owned the paint in his own end. Was uncommonly nimble and agile for a center, and showed a great nose for steals. A warrior. Offense was always an afterthought and he was a liability at the charity stripe. Was quite undersized for a center, so always had to rely on his athleticism and hustle to get the job done.
Long Range Potential: Former multiple winner of Defensive Player of the Year.
