Strengths
- Explosive, natural athlete without peer among bigs
- Finishes strong at rim with flush or soft touch
- Nice feel for post on both ends
- Instinctive rebounder and shotblocker
- Soft touch to 15-18 feet

Weaknesses
- Tends to disappear for long stretches as a complementary player
- Lack signature post move
- Poor ballhandler and struggles to find open man when doubled

CHU Analysis: Explosive combination of size, athleticism and strength that reminds of Amare Stoudemire and Dwight Howard. Uses talent to dominate inside, but post moves need polish. Developing mid-range jumper and unstoppable with ball near the rim. Instinctive and aggressive rebounder who intimidates as a shotblocker.
