A switchable, high-energy big who does his damage on the glass and at the rim — 6.7 rebounds (90th percentile) and a 79th-percentile rim protector who finished inside at a strong clip. The catch is spacing and touch: he didn't shoot it (27.8% from three) and a brutal 55.4% from the line. Effort and athleticism over polish.

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.
