Notes: 2011: Selected by Philadelphia in 2nd round (50th overall) of the NBA Draft...2012: Re-signed with Philadelphia to a two-year contract extension worth $6 million, July 11th.
Named First Team All-Atlantic 10 Conference as both a junior and senior while with the Temple Owls...Earned a spot on the All-Atlantic 10 Third Team as a sophomore and made the A-10 All-Rookie Team in 2007-08 with averages of 8.1 ppg and 5.7 rpg to go along with 55.8 percent shooting from the floor...Improved his scoring average each year with the Owls, eventually posting 11.6 ppg as a senior even though he shot a career-low 48.0 percent from the floor...Finished career as the program`s all-time leading rebounder with 1,147 boards and is third in TU history with 213 blocked shots...A solid presence in the middle, he is fundamentally sound at both ends of the floor but could stand to be a little more versatile on offense...Initially made himself available for the 2010 NBA Draft before withdrawing from consideration and returning to school. |
