Very talented offensively: can regularly hit the 3-pointer despite being the size of a center. Also a superb free-throw shooter who does a nice job of drawing contact. Able to score in a variety of ways. Rebounds solidly and blocks some shots when motivated to. Plays at times like a shooting guard in a power forward's body; not a bruising, tough defender in the post. Could pass a lot more than he does, and could be a higher-percentage shooter from the field. Injury-prone, and needs to bulk up his frame. | |
Long Range Potential: | Star floor-stretching scoring big man, when healthy. |
