I like him. Isn't the tallest PF around but he's extremely tough, a very good rebounder and he can score inside (adept back to the basket and face up game out to at least 15'). Really reminds me a lot of DeJuan Blair. Only thing -- he looked noticeably heavier in all his Philippines clips on youtube than the player I remember at NC State. Haven't seen any video of him playing in Italy. I hope his weight hasn't become an issue. If not, it's safe to expect a player at least as good as Blair imo.
