Scouting Report
Brought the physical gifts to excel in the pro post: a 7-foot frame, good muscle mass, nice overall length, and good mobility. Was pretty active on defense, and worked hard for blocks and rebounds. Didn't shown a lot of progress in the NBA and may have entered the league too early; especially displayed little skill in the offensive zone. Was awful on free throws. Could get somewhat foul prone, and was injury prone.
Long Range Potential: Streaky defensive center, when healthy.
