Outlook

A BIG body in the lane. Opponents have problems just dealing with his sheer size and strength. Does not rely solely on his size,....has a great turnaround jumper and touch on the ball. Runs the floor extremely well. Will challenge in any league for the rebounding title if given average minutes. Works REALLY hard on the offensive glass to get himself in great position for easy put backs. A solid post defender. Has the ability to recognize team mates wide open when he is double teamed. If he is one on one in the post he will score or get fouled. Has a nice touch around the basket and out to the free throw line. Fundamentally sound with his low post footwork. Unselfish on the court and does all the dirty work to win games. Definitely has the size and talent to be the go to guy when a team needs a bucket. An excellent shot blocker and has good timing.

Career

2011-12: Signed with Waston of the top league in Uruguay in South America.

He was their instant power down low and recorded a season high 25pts and 11rebs over Geissen (4/17/10). Had some spectacular outings considering his minute and put up some solid double figure scoring games with less than 20 minutes...like 15pts+6rebs in 21minutes vs the Phantoms.
