Nationality: American
Position: Forward
Height: 6’7” – 201 cm
Weight: 217 lbs – 98.5 kg
Exciting Forward with a lot of promise At 6’7” feet, his rare athleticism and explosive leaping ability gives him a tremendous amount of potential. Hes got a huge frame, he added a lot of weight and became a dominant interior force on both ends of the floor. His combination of size, length, and explosiveness makes him a quality shot blocker now, who can develop into a dominant one. Very solid in the transition game as he gets out and runs the floor very well for his size. A quality rebounder who shows solid effort and smart positioning. One of a kind pick and roll player.
