Physical, rebound-first big with proven motor
Stokes is a bruising frontcourt rebounder who made his name at Tennessee by producing 13.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.08 blocks per game over three college seasons, and he later showed efficient interior scoring in pro ball with a career NBA field-goal rate of 58.1%[8][3][6]. His main differentiators are strength, effort, and nose-for-the-ball toughness rather than perimeter skill, which makes him a fit for teams needing rim pressure, boards, and physicality inside. The upside is reliable energy and paint production; the limitation is that his game has historically been built around the interior, not spacing or shot creation[3][12].
