Scouting Report
Unusually well-rounded and skilled for a big man. He's a fantastic leaper with great quickness and mobility, and also an excellent passer out of the post and a shut-down defender. He hustles, runs the floor like a guard, and finishes with huge dunks. Has a nice array of low-post moves too and regularly draws fouls. Lacks ideal bulk to be a top-tier pro rebounder. Must show he can be durable after a serious knee injury in college. Still developing as a scorer, despite an already-solid all-round offensive game. Can be better as a shooter from the arc and the free throw line.
Long Range Potential: Underrated, explosive combo forward or center.
