Outlook:
Raheem is a powerful player with surprising quickness and agility for a player of his physical size. He is a double-double machine who brings a serious presence to the paint for his team. Offensively he is powerhouse on the block, can score with either hand but also can step it out and knockdown the face-up shot with range. Defensively he is a strong rebounder and rim-protector that will block or alter shots.
