Scouting Report
Uncommonly athletic and explosive for a big man: quick getting to the hoop at both ends of the floor, and plays well above the rim. An excellent lane-filler and shot-blocker, can take his man off the dribble on 'O,' and has great agility and hustle on 'D.' Gifted with the athleticism to get significantly better. Needs work on his half-court fundamentals: doesn't have much of a back-to-the-basket game on offense, and must improve his pick-setting. Not much of a shooter (from the mid-range out or from the free throw line). Could pass much more. Foul-prone defensively.
Long Range Potential: High-flying big man with raw starter tools.
