Scouting Report
A powerful bruiser in the paint. Creates space for himself and his teammates. Very nimble for a big guy and has some nice low-post scoring moves, helping him shoot for a very high field-goal percentage. Works hard on and off the court. Foul-prone, in part because his lack of height for a big man limits him defensively (and especially limits him as a rebounder). Hasn't quite lived up to his pre-pro hype.
Long Range Potential: Tough veteran offensive post player.
