Scouting reports

Scout: Greg Gillette [pleming@shore.net]

He is very effective from 10 feet in... Very strong, and can block shots.

He needs to play with more desire if he wants to make it in the NBA. If he can play with consistant intensity, he could be a very good NBA power forward. The problem is, he dissapears for stretches, and doesn't appear to want to get back into the game.

He needs to work on his face to the basket skills. But with his strength, he may be able to play the center position at times.

All the bad things have been said. The good side of his game is that he is over-powering, and he has a nice baby-hook in the paint. He is a decent passer out of double teams, and he runs the floor extremely well for a man his size. There won't be too many big guys in the NBA who will knock him around, or beat him down the court.

All in all, I say if he slides to the 2nd round, someone will get lucky. He should go mid-20's.
