Offensively and Defensively?
When he was in his prime with Phoenix, Charlotte, Philadelphia and New Jersey, and in his later years with Milwaukee and Utah.

Short strong post scorer with decent short midrange shot. Not a rim protector or particularly good guarding away from the basket.

I just remember that George McGinnis-style one-handed jump shot.

He was a good player that could score rather well.

Armon/Armen Gilliam otoh knowledge
Post up scorer, not that efficient. Not a passer, not a defender. So ultimately not that good. Odd difference in name spelling. Lasted okay despite being disappointing because he was an okay worker/team guy (plus he's a scorer). Went into the Heat's (home) locker room and knocked out/down Pearl Washington (details may be off). Think he was a Christian.
After checking up.
Player profile mostly right. "Not that efficient" was probably a touch mean, scoring efficiency typically a small positive.
"Armen" spelling was chosen, late in career, changed by his own choice to reflect proper/preferred pronunciation; sounds like people were (over) stressing the second syllable and perhaps it should have been a neutral/schwa vowel. Other stuff seems broadly correct at first skim checkup.
I would say probably best suited to a scorer off the bench role for any teams with real aspirations to be significantly good.

It was fine.
