Scouting Report
Did it all: he could play a power game in the post thanks to his long arms and great footwork, yet had excellent hands and also excelled as a mid-range shooter. Was a good passer for a big man, a hard-working defender and a leader on and off the court. Could have been more of a rebounder in the NBA. Was not a good three-point shooter. Took a lot of punishment when often lined up against bigger power forwards and centers, which led to durabililty issues (and he struggled to play 80 games per season).
Long Range Potential: Quality, do-it-all forward/center.
