Elite interior finisher & rebounder

An elite shot-blocking center and one of the best rim protectors in the league, a vertical lob threat who rebounds and finishes inside without needing touches. He missed essentially all of 2025-26, so there's no current sample to rate, but his EPM still reads as a quality starter — a coveted defensive anchor and an unrestricted free agent at just 24.
