Scouting Report
A wide, powerful paint presence, he was an above-average rebounder and shot blocker. Was aggressive, feisty and even intimidating to opponents. Had great work ethic and was always willing to do the dirty work and the little things to help his team win. Was also a no-nonsense leader on and off the court. Was often injured, in part because he was so physical. Was not fluid on offense and was prone to fouling on defense. Took too many technical fouls. Despite good hands, he was not much of a shooter or ball handler and he did not stretch opposing defenses with any sort of perimeter game.
Long Range Potential: Rim-protecting center, enforcer and no-nonsense team leader.
