Offense (Scoring & Passing)
Could almost leave this section blank, as this is not why he is in the league. Most of his offense comes from point blank range on follows off of offensive boards, or occasionally on a good dropoff pass from a guard. Better athlete than you might think and can dunk with some power off the move. Very little ability to score one on one against bigger players and not surprisingly prone to getting those shots blocked. Of late has been experimenting with little midrange jumpers, which would be helpful, but has yet to show he can hit them. After a disastrous start to the season from the FT line, has settled in to normal big man numbers. More than just a thug and a pretty smart player. Will make the pass if its there.

Defense & Rebounding
Now this is why a 6'7" guy with short arms is in the league. Built like a tank, and willing to throw that beef around with abandon. Good nose for the ball on the glass, and willing to tear your arm off to get the rebound. Wins the hustle battles and will throw himself around the court chasing loose balls. Despite lack of height, has been effective in certain strength on strength defensive matchups. Can be shot over by towers however. Combines lack of height with stubby arms so not a shotblocking threat, but gets off the ground better than you would expect and can occasionally surprise somebody.

Intangibles
Has added hustle and toughness to a notoriously soft squad, and can provide an inspirational lift in short bursts off the bench. Good guy with a sense of humor too, and seems to be a locker room asset. Has quickly become a fan favorite.
