All-Star

An elite-efficiency lob-catching center who finishes everything around the rim — 63.8% from the floor for a ridiculous 66.9% true shooting — while gobbling boards (93rd percentile) and drawing fouls at an absurd rate (96th). He won't space the floor (10% on a handful of threes) and isn't a hub for the offense, but as a rim-runner and defensive backstop he's about as efficient as they come.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
