Free throw shooting has shown solid improvement... Big defensive presence, and a terrific shot blocker with great length, timing and instincts

In these situations is where he shows his great scoring ability, but he has a tendency to force shots and make poor decisions... If he adds additional strength, he will be able to fight for rebounds better
