Scouting Report
A powerful presence in the paint who brought a rare mix of bruising physicality and hustle. Was intense and active as a rebounder and shot-blocker, and took high percentage shots on offense. Also a positive, mature clubhouse presence. Didn't have a lot of low-post offensive moves and wasn't much of a shooter. Injury-prone, and had some major health issues (including needing open heart surgery).
Long Range Potential: Defense-first role-playing big man.
