He was a quality rebounder and defender, and a skilled passer for a big man. Tall, long, and quick. He was highly dependable and feisty around the basket at both ends, and scored well with short-range moves and usually took and converted high-percentage shots. Hit his free throws too. Didn't always get the most from his excellent athleticism and size, and he wasn't the shot-blocker he could have been. He additionaly didn't excel at creating his own shot in the paint, and wasn't much of a perimter shooter. Injury-prone too. | |
