Pros:

• stretch big; jumper looks comfortable

• mobile, quick footed; can attack closeouts impressively well for a big

• stays low both offensively and defensively; makes him a true ball handling threat

Cons:

• struggles with his center of gravity and can get pushed around pretty easily

• bad screen setter

• lacks consistency in his aggression and confidence

C: all-star

F: end of rotation

An athletic 6'11" center with the length, timing, and motor to be an immediate high-level defensive anchor and rebounder. He is an effective rim-runner and lob threat who uses his strong frame to finish efficiently around the basket. His next step is to continue polishing his offensive skill set, particularly his free-throw and shooting consistency.
