Outlook:
Rugged rebounder and relentless on the glass. Undersized but more than makes up for that in effort. Quick off his feet and a superior defensive player even on bigger players.
A great team player. A solid all around player with good skills. Passes very well out of the post and on the wing. Sees the defense and is a good decision maker. Can shoot the ball consistently out to 15 feet and doesn't force or take bad shots. Won't block a lot of shots but always is in great position to take a charge and will challenge all shots in the lane. Understands the game and knows when a to give a good, hard foul that can really impact a game. Is tough in the low block and can score when given opportunities. Shoots a high percentage and is excellent at drawing fouls. Good touch on the ball and never gives up on a play. Can finish well around the rim and is quite athletic. A fantastic rebounder and defender second to none. Every team has need for a player with this type of mental toughness.
