That kid can score! His hook shot is unstoppable if he is within 8-10 feet of the basket. It's a really nice shot, impossible to block if you are a 6'9 player, let alone a 7'4 Center with huge wingspan. He is also an outstanding rebounder. He finds someone, puts a body on them and just grabs a rebound.
He moves better than you'd expect a 7-4, 300lb European to move, especially on offense.
Having said that, he may be the worst pick and pop defender I have ever seen. He makes Shaq and Vlade Divac look like Hakeem in his prime.
He can kind of hold his own in the post, simply because his wingspan bothers people, but you get him in a pick and pop, and if your big man can knock down a 15-foot jumper, he'll score 40 points.
Disclaimer:
I haven't seen him play in a year or so, so he may have improved his defense, but I doubt it. It wasn't an issue with experience or youth; but a clear issue with his mobility.
