A superb rebounder. He has worked to be an effective scorer too, shooting for a good field-goal percentage (often on spectacular dunks) and improving from the charity stripe (while showing range on his jumper). He uses his great physique and wingspan to overpower some opponents in the paint, yet has the speed of a small forward. Sometimes lets his intensity boil over into bad decisions on the court, and must show the focus and consistency to get the most from his great physical tools. Not much of a shot-blocker despite his physical gifts. Must cut down on his turnovers while finding a way to become more of a passer out of the post. | |
Long Range Potential: | Streaky but explosive, athletic big man with starter tools. |
