NBA ROLE: INTERIOR SCORER/REBOUNDER

Big Boban Marjanovic is intimidating – standing at 7’4, 290, his presence alone serves to both alter shots in the paint/clog the lane & corral boards; noble skills down low (helps when you can dunk by barely jumping!), especially on the left side – Boban features a solid, one-handed push shot (can get looks off v. almost any kind of defensive pressure), has a light touch near the basket; passes pretty well out of the post, doesn't force it; can palm anything; racks up numbers* v. mismatches, though also loses time v. smaller lineups; needs more opportunity: very productive in short doses (15-20 min./night or more depending on matchup) – Boban’s an ‘ace in the hole’ for any squad he’s on; valued vet in Houston
