A two-way big who flashes some stretch and rim-running utility at seven feet. He's logged only spot NBA minutes, so there's nothing to grade statistically — a depth center holding down an end-of-bench spot for now.

No qualifying 2025-26 NBA stats yet — an NBA rating populates once he logs a full season.
