Assets: | Simply dominates the paint. Uses his great muscle, bulk, athleticism, and a wingspan well over seven feet to pile up copious double-doubles. Already a great rebounder, and has the potential to be a top shot-blocker. Highly athletic for a player his size, with an emerging offensive game. Also a good passer for a center. |
Flaws: | Still has a lot of work to do as a scorer (although he has showed great progress improving as a free throw shooter after struggling mightily in that area). Still foul-prone on defense, and needs to pick his spots better as a shot-blocker. |
Career Potential: | Overpowering star center. |
