2× All-NBA3× All-StarMost Improved Player

A bruising, ball-dominant power forward who does a little of everything — 21.1 points, 6.7 boards and 5.0 assists as a secondary engine, drawing fouls at an elite clip. The jumper runs hot and cold (31.5% from deep) and he's never been a rim protector, but he's a genuine offensive load who can shoulder a heavy usage night-to-night.

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.
