“He can handle and face guys up,” Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after beating the Raptors. “He’s a different type of big than you see most nights in the NBA. You may have some spacing bigs or some post up bigs, but when you have a guy who can face you up in space who’s got great strength, great hands, great feet and can finish at a high level, he’s hard to guard. And especially he’s can through contact and making his free throws now, so he’s just a problem for people. It’s the rebounding, it’s the offensive stuff, the sharing, being a hub for us offensively. He’s just grown, and it’s been beautiful to watch.”
