A bouncy, energy-only backup center who does his damage entirely above the rim — 78% from the field, leading the league percentile in inside finishing, and crashing the glass hard at 5.5 boards in 20 minutes. He offers zero spacing (no real jumper) and modest rim protection, so he's a situational dunker-and-rebounder, not a featured five.

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.
