Scouting Report
A strong shot-blocker and a solid rebounder who's also a pretty efficient, well-rounded big man. He can score on the block, has an improving shooting stroke, and he does a solid job of drawing fouls and usually hitting his free throws. Fairly polished overall. He lacks ideal muscle mass for the pro paint, and doesn't have a top-tier wingspan for the NBA post. He additionally isn't fast down the court, and lumbers a bit. Also doesn't have ideally-sized hands for a pro big man.
Long Range Potential: Depth big man.
