Western · Pacific · proj. 28–54
A skilled, mobile center who finishes everything around the rim (96th-percentile inside, 67.1% from the field) and anchors the glass and the paint — 8 boards and a rim-protection rate in the 87th percentile. He gives you almost nothing as a passer and zero floor spacing, but as a vertical, efficient five he's a real piece. Holds a player option.
