Scouting Report
Can dominate as a rebounder thanks to his immense wingspan, great reach, good hands, and excellent effort. Has pretty good muscle mass and physicality, he positions and battles well, and he really goes after the ball. His soft hands additionally help him excel at tip-ins, and he can hit solidly from the perimeter with his jumper. While nimble and high-energy he's not particularly fluid or explosive, factors limiting him as a shot-blocker. He has a power forward's height and game (somewhat) but isn't ideally quick against some forwards. He's also a bit foul-prone, so must keep improving his defensive technique.
Long Range Potential: Strong, super-long, rebounding big man with some starter tools.
