He's a relentless rebounder, especially on the offensive end, where he consistently creates second-chance opportunities. Defensively, his combination of strength and mobility allows him to effectively guard both on the perimeter and against bigger opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
