Scouting Report
Gifted as a shot-blocker. Very athletic and mobile in the paint, and uses his great reach and explosive quickness to track shooters then swat away attempts. A good leaper for a big man, and gets up quickly. Also a hard-working rebounder. Avoids fouling. Flashes solid hands and potential as a passer and shooter. Very thin for the pro post and must beef up his physique to deal with the NBA pounding. Spends most of his time around the paint and doesn't stretch the defense with much of a shooting game at all. Needs to keep working on his offensive skills and physique.
Long Range Potential: Athletic, promising big man with good defensive potential.
