NBA Comparison: N/A
Strengths: Looks like a legit 7’ footer with tremendous strenght and size … His most impressive trait is the fact that he runs the floor fairly well and he has great feet for someone his size … He runs with short on somewhat choppy steps, but he is very efficient and does not fatigue as fast as one would expect … Inside, he is very good because he has great hands and a soft touch, and if he catches a defender on his back he is pretty much unstoppable because of his wide base and strength … He is able to finish plays with dunks, especially off drives and dishes, where he shows some very underrated explosiveness …
Weaknesses: His footspeed is very limited, posing a great problem defensively as opposing big men face him up and attack at will … His rebounding is also not very impressive as he seems to lack instinct and he struggles with players that are quicker to get into better rebounding position … He does not show much in terms of anticipation and weakside help … His offensive game is strictly confined to within 5 feet, outside of that range, he does not even look to shoot the ball … He is a 66% shooter for his career … His release is jerky and he moves the ball to the side as he is about to release it, causing some inconsistency in his release.
