Scouting Report
A true center and a defensive demon. His mix of athletic mobility and immense wingspan is truly rare, and he uses his gifts to maximum effect on 'D.' He's an instinctive and dominant shot-blocker, an excellent rebounder, and shows a nose for steals too. Runs the floor well, has strong leaping ability, and flashes a nice back-to-the-basket offensive game with a baby hook shot. He's somewhat raw offensively, especially as a shooter. He has no 3-point shot yet, and really struggles on free throws. He can really benefit from adding a more diversified scoring game. Also, while a heads-up passer he can look for his teammates more often out of the post.
Long Range Potential: Raw but physically gifted center, with starter talent.
