Scouting Report

Assets An almost-7-footer with top athleticism. Runs the floor well and has great shooting range for a man his size. Handles the ball well enough to play some shooting guard. Works hard.
Flaws Has had major injury woes early in his career. Lacks bulk and isn't much of a rebounder at near-seven feet. Sometimes plays on the perimeter too much.
Career potential Solid reserve swingman with starter tools.
