Weaknesses: Lacks ideal NBA size at 6-8 playing the PF position ... Not an above the rim athlete, his upside is limited by his lack of explosiveness and sheer athletic ability ... May not have NBA athleticism, although don't bet against him. Lack of lateral foot speed hurts him when quicker players face him up ... Not a shot blocker, without much height or explosiveness, lacks much of a defensive presence ... Doesn't have a great array of moves to get open looks.

Scores most of his points on garbage baskets around the hoop or ally oops ... Should develop a few more offensive go to moves ...
