A mobile, do-the-dirty-work big who finishes everything around the rim — 65% from the field for a 64% true shooting — while defending multiple spots and protecting the paint. He's a willing passer for a center, but the complete lack of any jumper and shaky ball security cap his offensive ceiling.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2024-25 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played.
