Scouting Report
Has the height of a center and the approach of a shooting guard. Shows good leaping ability and a nice outside stroke. Shoots well from the field and the free-throw line. Not a great defender or rebounder for a 7-footer (in part because he doesn't have a great wingspan, and needs to bulk up). Needs to better use his big frame for easy buckets.
Long Range Potential: Talented finesse backup big man.
