   A beast... Probably the most phisically gifted player in the NBA... Incredible size, athleticism and strength... Broad shoulders... Very good attitude... Excellent rebounder and shot blocker... Can bully his way to the basket... Gets more dunks than any other player... Doesn't have a lot of finesse... No mid-range game... Not a great offensive player yet... Turnover prone... Probably the most dominant big man in basketball.
