NBA Comparison: N/A

Frank Rusnak – 7/4/2006

Strengths: Extremely long and athletic he can beat other centers down the floor. A tremendous shot blocker that intimidates opponents and redirects tons of shots. Has long arms and wide shoulders with an angular frame. When he gets around the hoop he knows how to flush it home. His face-up game is solid and continues to get better.

Weaknesses: Gets fatigued easily and is prone to getting into foul trouble early. With both of those combined his playing time is down from what it should be at NIU. Weight and added strength are obvious necessities for the next level. Needs a fire to be lit underneath him to bring the intensity level up on a constant basis.
