Scouting Report
'Bam' is a power player with the raw tools NBA teams look for in a post presence: he has good height, superb length, excellent muscle mass, and good hands (with a soft touch around the basket). Really knows how to use his frame to get position on the block, and can create his own shot there. Also a great leaper, and a good defender. Not much of a shooter from outside the key area, and additionally isn't much of a passer; must keep working to develop more and better ball skills. Also, for a bruising low-post type he can be an even more productive rebounder and shot-blocker.
Long Range Potential: True post player with some star-level talent.
