Was a warrior in the paint: strong, tough, and a top-tier shot-blocker. Overcame some major adversity (open-heart surgery) to succeed, and was a consummate team leader. Very energetic on and off the court. Not the rebounder he could have been. Was a bit stiff in his movements, and his offensive repertoire was generally limited (and he especially developed very little in terms of an outside shot to stretch defenses). | |
Long Range Potential: | Good defensive center and locker room leader. |
