The team’s No. 1 pick in the 2002 Draft, the 6-9 beanpole made a grand return to the Express after a brief stint with Talk N Text. And he did not need so much time to make the adjustments as he immediately made an impact and got the job done for them in a number of occasions.

One highlight of his young career occurred last season when he posted a pair of 20-20 games, a rare accomplishment for a big man who has been criticized for his soft plays in the shaded lane.
