That scouting report describes Kiir as the exact guy we need to address our most glaring weakness - low post presence. His strongest attributes are that he is a "high energy" guy and a "relentless" rebounder":
"Kiir will play right away for LSU and give them the physical, high energy presence they need inside. He and Reath will make a good tandem, as Kiir will allow Reath to play more comfortably as a four man, absorbing much of the dirty work around the basket.
Long term, Kiir has Chieck Diallo-like potential as a lane-to-lane rim-runner who can finish around the basket, snatch up boards, and protect the rim. Some of his offensive skills are already SEC-ready, but he’ll need to refine his shooting stroke.
Critically, though, like Brandon Rachal and Galen Alexander, he brings some edge, physicality, and toughness to his game, the sorts of characteristics of which LSU needs a hefty infusion. In this freshman class, LSU isn’t getting any electric scorers capable of dropping 30 night in, and night out. But they are getting the guys those guys dread being guarded by."
