A long, switchy combo forward who finishes everything around the rim (97th-percentile inside finishing) and crashes the glass hard (82nd), good for 7.8 points on 63.3% true shooting in spot minutes across two teams. The jumper (32.3%) and the handle still need work, but the size and motor give him a developmental path.
