NBA Comparison: Byron Mullens
Strengths: Strong, big-bodied center with a lot of upside…Great length (7’5" wingspan) makes him a terror on the defensive end and boards. Averaged 2 BPG last season in only 23 minutes per game…Hard-nosed big man who makes up for his raw post game by bringing energy and aggression to the court…Great bench press numbers (16 reps) indicate that he is already very strong, and should continue to add strength…Has a wide frame and an overall NBA-ready body…Very fluid for a man his size. He runs the floor well

NBA Comparison: Ian Mahinmi/Amir Johnson
Strenghts: Capela is as good as any athlete ever coming from Europe … What really separates him is his explosiveness around the rim … He isn’t scared of contact and can really finish above the rim with one of two hands … He also can really run the floor on finding easy layups and dunks in transition … Capela is still a very raw talent with a lot of upside, but has also developed solid instinct, particularly on the defensive end … He also makes passes you would not expect from a player like him …
