STRENGTHS:
A big physical post play player whose biggest strength was his defense in the post. A great post defender, using his physical strength to keep position, and also his hands well to block shots and alter others. A very good rebounder on both sides, averaging over 10rpg in his first 5 seasons in the league 11.3rpg in the 2006-07 season. Ranked in the top 10 in offensive rebounds 6 times during his career. Developed a decent jumpshot later in his career.
WEAKNESSES:
A decent offensive player but didn't really improve in that area throughout his time in the NBA with injuries slowing down his progression early in his career. Doesn't get too many turnovers but isn't much of a ball handling and doesn't like putting the ball on the floor. Bit of a liability at the free throw line averaging 58% for his career.
