Scouting Report
Slippery. Has become very good at setting up shots for himself and makes use of pump fakes to draw fouls... Sticks to playing in the post, where he dominates... One on one skills have improved along with his ball handling... Big time rebounder... An absolutely jaw dropping physical specimen with his combination of size, length, strength, athleticism and mobilityPlayer Personality
