The scouts decsribe him following way:
(by Aran Smith for NBADraft.net in 2006)
Very skilled big man. Knows how to play close to the basket, but excels outside ... His coordination and height are a great combination ... Plays very well on the perimeter, jump shot out past 20 feet is consistent ... Even knocks down the three point shot ... A real offensive threat with great form and confidence in his jump shot ...
Lacks the foot speed to defend small forwards ... Must become better defensively ... Lacks a great back to the basket game ...
