Draft Notes

A massive center with broad shoulders and great strength.

Has elite tools and everything you look for in a developmental big man.

Will probably take a few years in school but has a chance to develop into a NBA draft pick.

Does all the big man things well and knows his role. Might develop more of an offensive game in time but for now he lives in the paint and scores on put-backs and within a few feet of the basket.
