Scouting Report

AssetsVery athletic at almost seven feet. Scores well inside. Brings uncommon intensity, energy, toughness, and grit. Has a long, fluid frame and can run the floor like a guard. Has been dominant in Europe.
FlawsCan be foul-prone. Still has some work to do in improving his shooting stroke and small-ball skills (and especially could do more as a passer).
Career potentialPower post player with upside.
