How many workouts have you had? How did this one compare?
"I've had six workouts. This one was pretty similar to the others, just
changing some little stuff. It seems like each one, they add another
thing."
What do you think sets you apart from some of the other big guys in this
draft?
"I really play a physical low-post game. I think I'm a pretty
good-percentage shooter. From certain spots, I think I shoot it really
well. That's one thing I've worked really hard on this summer, to make a
better percentage."
Any current NBA players you can compare your game to?
"I see a lot of the young big guys who come into the league, and try to
improve their games every day. It's tough to compare yet, because the
league is such a different game from college. I think I need to wait to see
my game in the NBA."

Any other workouts scheduled right now?
"I've got about six or seven more scheduled right now...Seattle, Houston,
Phoenix and San Antonio. I'm just going to use what I did today going into
those other workouts, and play hard."
What's the skill that sets you apart from others in this draft?
"More athletic ability, and I'm a good shot blocker off the ball. On the
ball, I have a tendency to foul. But I'm a good help-side defender."
Anyone in the league right now that you pattern your game after, or
liken your game to?
"A lot of guys have called me a miniature Theo Ratliff. He's a great shot
blocker who likes to come from off the ball. That's what people have been
telling me all my life, that I have the same makeup, just same-type player
as him."

How was the competition today?
"It was great competition. Everyone here is a good competitor, so it was a
good day."
What do you see in your future, as far as draft position?
"No idea. Hopefully (with the workouts) I'm moving up."
Anyone in the NBA you liken your game to?
"Not really. Everyone my size wants to play like Shaq or Duncan. So I'd
have to say I'd like to play like one of those two."
