| Probably the top power forward un Europe. One of the few Europeans, who made excellent career in the NBA. Very good playing as the power forward, but can also play well as the center. Great moves close to the basket. Combination of experience and good technique gives very good results. Very good court vision, so can easily pass to his teammates, when defended by two players.
