Naturally fits a bigs-heavy build. Draft shot-creators, finishers, and spot-up specialists who don't run offense. You'll dominate PTS, FG%, FT%, 3PM, REB, and BLK. AST is surprisingly easy to contest with 1–2 playmakers, so concede it and absolutely bury opponents on the scoring and efficiency side.
