Outlook
A great team player.  A solid all around player with good skills.  Passes very well out of the post and on the wing.  Sees the defense and is a good decision maker.  Can shoot the ball consistently out to 15 feet and doesn't force or take bad shots.  Won't block a lot of shots but always is in great position to take a charge and will challenge all shots in the lane.  Understands the game and knows when a to give a good, hard foul that can really impact a game.  Is tough in the low block and can score when given opportunities.  Shoots a high percentage and is excellent at drawing fouls.  Good touch on the ball and never gives up on a play.  Can finish well around the rim and is quite athletic.
