Draft Notes

A powerful interior player who is an enforcer in the paint and an elite defender. Has a very strong build and incredible length and plays with great power.

Rebounds the ball well and does all the dirty work like setting screens and defending in the paint. Isn’t flashy and doesn’t have much of an offensive game but knows his role and plays an important part of winning basketball.
