A big, shot-making forward with eye-catching scoring upside at just 21 — 12.5 points on 59% true shooting with strong rim protection numbers and a knack for getting to the line. The handle, passing (1.5 assists) and perimeter defense are works in progress, but the offensive ceiling is real if the 33% three climbs.
