All of his stuff is around the basket. I still think there are some comps to Hassan Whiteside in his day who was putting him similar points (averaged 17 points the year he led the lead in rebounds at 14/game) and twice led the league in blocked shots. He averaged 3.7 blocks in 2015 which is insane. We can act like he sucks now but he was thought of as an elite center at that time.
Only by casual fans. He was a monster around the rim. Similar to Drummond or DAJ but all of them refuse to step out of the paint to guard the perimeter and cannot defend the pick and roll. Just like them he also isn´t playing good team defense and gambles on reb/blks instead of doing his job on rotations or boxouts.
