    Unathletic because he couldn't hang in the air for half an hour.

    Based on where his head hits the net (on his way down), his vertical is 30 inches or maybe even a bit more.

    He had a couple blocks and dunks last year where his head was above the bottom of the backboard. He’s around a 34” vert. Nothing special but solid for a center.
    His athleticism has been downplayed because it doesn’t fit what people think they know about athleticism. He’s a solid NBA athlete but he’s upper tier in fluidity, dexterity and coordination.
