Scouting Report
Was a hard competitor and was not afraid of the rough going. Enjoyed stirring up opponents. Could line up on either side of center, which added to his overall value. Was at his best when he kept his game simple. Injuries were always an issue for him, mainly because of his gung-ho style of play. In fact, his serious decline occurred because of the wear and tear on his body. Lacked overall consistency.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, agitating forward, when healthy.
