A long, switchable young big who's carved out a niche as a defensive specialist — elite perimeter D (90th percentile) and rim protection (84th) packed into a 15-minute role. The offense is barely there (4.4 points, 13th-percentile shooting), so his minutes depend entirely on the defense and the glass. On a team option, a cheap, high-effort frontcourt energy piece with real defensive upside.

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.
