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.

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.
