Notes: 2008: Selected by Toronto in 1st round (17th overall) of the NBA Draft; Traded to Indiana in a five-player deal, July 9th...2012: NBA All-Star; Re-signed with Indiana to a four-year deal worth $58.4 million, July 13th.
Two time All- Big East First Team selection...A true, prototypical center...He has great size and a perfect frame for the NBA level...Played four years in college, so he understands the game...Does a solid job on the glass and is a very hard work with a great motor...Surprising passing ability and court vision for a big man...Can score in the paint with an array of post
moves...Also is tremendous from the foul line...Is usually a cool customer on the court and can develop into a leader for his next team...Not very athletic...Lacks quickness and speed to run the floor...Will struggle against the quicker big men at the next level. |
