Scouting Report
A fairly polished center. Very coordinated for his size and shows excellent body control. Shoots the ball well for a big man (and is excellent from the free-throw stripe) thanks to a smooth, consistent stroke. Has improved as a shot-blocker and rebounder. Not very explosive or powerful in the paint (and isn't very long-armed for a near-7-footer). Despite good overall fundamentals he needs to be less foul-prone. Can do more passing from the post.
Long Range Potential: Skilled offensive rotational center or power forward.
