A versatile combo big who quietly stuffed the box score off the bench — 11.2 points on a sparkling 63.7% true shooting, finishing inside at the 91st percentile while also stepping out to hit 39% from three. He rebounds, passes (88th-percentile ball security), and defends well enough across positions, making him a genuinely useful modern frontcourt piece on a minimum number.

Current deal: $13,000,000 cap hit · through '30. On the contract row the flat dashed line is this salary, so the gap to the 2026-27 forecast is the surplus.

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.
