Scouting Report
Highly physical, feisty, and confident; drives opponents nuts with physicality. A solid shot-blocker and a quality key protector with good length, agility, and anticipation. Coordinated and quick for his size, and runs the floor like a forward. Flashes some nice short-range one-on-one post moves on offense. Not the rebounder he can be considering his size and physicality. Raw as a shooter and passer, and doesn't stretch the floor with an outside shot or make teams pay at the free-throw line for fouling him. Also not much of a passer.
Long Range Potential: Gritty, physical, star-level defense-first true center.
