2001 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Smooth agile player who can run the break and finish gracefully ... Relaxed lets game come to him doesn't let his emotions get in the way of playing ... Devastating shot-blocker for a freshman lead the nation with 4.4 a game ... Posses all the great physical tools for a shot-blocker timing, quick leaping ability, long arms, and lateral quickness ... Versatile scorer who is able to post up or float out for the mid range jumper although this part of his game is still far from being complete ... Very good rebounder gets into great position under the glass that along with his quick hops and strong hands make him a threat to grab rebounds on every play ... Could of come out of high school and been a high lottery pick but decided to go to college one year ... Has started to develop a 3-point shot to go along with his evolving mid-range game ...

Weakness: Should really consider adding 20 pounds of muscle to his lean frame ... Needs to play with energy and passion as he can go through times during a game when he plays lethargic ... Is still at the point in his career where he thinks every shot is a good shot needs to learn better shot selection ... Character has come under fire due in part to his 2 fights one with a college teammate Ty Shine and the other with a high school teammate at Roman Catholic ... Right now he is in sort of a positional limbo between playing small forward and power forward ... Ball handling while not bad could stand a tad bit more improvement on protecting the ball as he turned the ball over too many times ...
