Scouting Report
Was a uniquely phenomenal athlete, especially for his size. He was explosive and coordinated, and could run the floor like a guard. Had great low-post footwork. Out-muscled most opponents and regularly jumped over centers for monster dunks. Displayed nice hands, great passing ability for a big man and clutch scoring prowess. He was also a hard worker. His shooting was not elite. Also, he was not a great shot blocker or defensive stopper. Struggled significantly with injuries, and he missed double-digit games in most of NBA seasons.
Long Range Potential: Tremendously athletic and talented power forward (when healthy).
