Strengths: Bullish strength … Loves to defend in the post, and seems very comfortable banging down low with anyone … Seems to enjoy doing the dirty work … Strength allows him to box out well and push people around in the paint … Surprisingly good free throw shooter for someone of his skill set … Doesn’t try to force his offense, lets the offense come to him … Great field goal percentage throughout collegiate career … Good at setting picks … Hustles hard … Practicing every day against Al Horford and Joakim Noah has definitely helped him learn to defend more athletic big men…

Weaknesses: May struggle to keep up with the speed of the NBA game … Doesn’t have great hands, and muffs some passes … Lacks stand out athleticism which limits his potential … Also struggles to block shots and cannot out leap most opponents for high rebounds … Is only 6-8 and doesn’t have great length … Has never held a starting role for a prolonged period of time … Not a real offensive minded player … Has a tendency to get into foul trouble, even in limited time …
