Scouting Report
Defensively he can dominate games as a rim protector, thanks to fantastic length and excellent anticipation. He's also agile and quick for his size, and adjusts impressively to make plays. While not a shot creator on offense he shows excellent hands for a big man and is a good shooter (from both the perimeter and the free throw line). A lack of ideal muscle mass keeps him from excelling as a rebounder, as does middling leaping ability. While a great shot blocker he relies more on effort and smarts than on explosiveness, and he doesn't consistently play above the rim. He can pass more, develop more offensive go-to moves, and become less foul-prone.
Long Range Potential: Shot-blocking center with good starter tools.
