He’s a long, slim big man that found his way on the glass. I’m also a fan of his ability YOY stretch out and defend on the perimeter. Driving baseline was always off-limits. On offense, he displayed a great effort and buried quite a few hook shots. Even an an-one conversion. An efficient screen-setter, too. 6’6″ from Lindblom.
