Scouting Report
Skilled, coordinated, and well-built for a 7-footer. Has very soft hands and a nice touch around the basket. Loves to play in the low post and has very polished back-to-the-basket and back-in moves. Highly efficient and aware around the basket, with good passing ability to cutters. Pretty mobile too. Not long for his height and isn't a quick or particularly athletic player at center. Gets by more on technique and hustle than on length or speed, and is limited on the defensive end as a result. Can be more of a shooter to stretch the floor.
Long Range Potential: Gritty, efficient, skilled true center prospect.
