STRENGTHS:


Durable played in the NBA for over 20 seasons (6th All TIme with 1424) and only had one serious injury which he returned from to play for 10+ years. Great rebounder (11.2 per 36 minutes for career, career high of 15.5 in 1991-92). 23rd all time in Offensive Rebound Percentage, 51st in Defensive Rebound Percentage. Excellent post defender with great strength and above average athleticism for the position. Decent FT shooter for a big career FT% of .713, but not a great jump shooter.


WEAKNESSES:


Small arms lead to a low number of blocks (0.5 bpg for career) and steals (0.7) .  Limited post moves are to put backs and jump hooks. Struggles passing out of double teams. Has a tendency to jack up jumpers beyond his range (career .211 from 3). 


SIGNIFICANT INFO: #183 All Time on Basketball Reference's Top Players List, 1 Time NBA All Star, Won NBA Title in 2002 with Spurs. Nicknamed T-Rex due to his short arms. One of 15 players in NBA history with over 16,000 career points and 11,000 career rebounds.

0.7 steals for a big man isn't that bad. That's definitely not a 0.5, more like a 2.5-3.

We will have to disagree, I don't think anybody ever thought about Kevin Willis and thought there is a guy who gets steals and blocks
