Western · Pacific · proj. 33-49 (▲+0.6)

A two-way center built entirely on defense and energy — a 99th-percentile rim protector (1.5 blocks in 20 minutes) and 96th-percentile rebounder who finishes the easy ones (58.7% from the floor). He's a non-factor on offense at 11% usage and can't shoot free throws (51%), but the shot-blocking and glass work give him a real specialist's profile.
