Summary
Raw 7-2 freshman center with intriguing defensive tools and mobility for his size. Extremely developmental offensively but shot-blocking instincts and switchability provide long-term NBA upside as a rim-protecting role player.
Strengths
- Elite length and timing as shot blocker
- Runs floor well for seven-footer
- Shows lateral quickness on perimeter switches
- High motor, competes on glass
Weaknesses
- Extremely limited offensive skill set currently
- Needs significant strength and functional mass
- Foul-prone, defensive discipline inconsistent
