A powerhouse in the paint with a rare mix of size, strength, and skill. Can both dominate the boards on 'D' and consistently stretch the floor as a shooter (including 3-pointers). Shows soft, superb touch on his shots, including on free throws. Physical: makes the most of great height, strength, and length. Also a good passer, a team-first player, and a hard worker. Isn't much of a shot-blocker despite excellent size and instincts, in part because he's not very explosive in terms of quickness or leaping ability (and lacks ideal fluidity). Both foul-prone and turnover-prone, and must rein in his game at both ends. |
