Strengths
Highly skilled scorer (career .566) on the low block who uses his strength to establish position and finish with either hand. Is elite at drawing contact and getting to the line (6.5 for career, led league in FTA one year) and converts well for a big man (.718). Does almost all his damage in the paint. Despite injuries had 4 consecutive years with 18+ points and 10+ rebounds. Is an excellent passer (3apg for career).
Weaknesses
Not quick or a leaper he relies on position and stength on both ends of the floor. Is only a decent defender and his lack of athleticism limits his ability to block or even alter shots for a center (0.8 per game). Well an excellent passer he is very turnover prone (3.7 per game) and struggles at times with double teams. Injuries are a huge concern as he blew out a knew during his 4th season and 59 games after that.
Notes
2 Time Allstar, 1st team All Rookie, Devastating injury ruined his promising career 3.5 years and 2 all star games in. Nicknamed McFilthy
