Scouting Report
Was highly productive, consistent and efficient at both ends of the floor. Had the size to play center in the NBA, yet was also very nimble around the basket. Displayed a nice shooting touch and could be very hard to stop in the offensive post. Flashed a solid, mid-range shooting stroke and was consistent at the free-throw line. Was also a very good rebounder. Avoided fouls and turnovers, too. While good defensively, he did not dominate like he could have as a rebounder, shot blocker and source of steals (which limited his effectiveness when playing center). Offensively, he was not a volume passer or 3-point shooter. His NBA career came to a sudden end because of an irregular heartbeat.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, consistent power forward/center.
