Summary:
A very talented scorer for a big man, JBC is a limited rebounder and defender due to his finesse game. He is very talented and gets a bad rap perhaps due to being what Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale were traded for. He should be a nice first round pick who can help a team and with the right development be a complete center.
