Scouting Report
A powerhouse in the paint. Can be a bull in the low post, using his fantastic bulk and muscle mass to create space en route to the hoop. Gets great position on post-ups and has surprisingly nimble footwork and soft hands. Possesses long arms and finishes strongly, shooting for a high field goal percentage. A bit short for a center and isn't much of a factor as a shot-blocker. Could be more of a rebounder considering his great mass. Won't stretch the floor with an outside shot and could be better from the free throw line, especially considering how much contact he draws.
Long Range Potential: Bruising veteran offense-first center.
