27% from 3? He's perfect for Timberwolves, too bad they don't have a pick.

Lmao that dude is trash. I’ve seen 100s of dudes like that over the last 30 years who never pan out. Maybe they lack a 48” very but it takes skill at his position in the nba and he lacks it. Cool hell get a nice dunk and he can hunt for blocks but he better get a handle and a jump shot. He’s like KJ McDaniels

He can be a solid defensive player in the NBA

Reminds of Jordan Bone (same college too). Athleticism and combine measurements aren't everything.

If you don't have skill, IQ, and an insane work ethic to improve he'll just be an end of bench player.

Because he can block shots in college? Maybe, maybe not but solid” defensive players are a dime a dozen, not guys you need to go after in the lottery.

with his height he is a tweener.
He couldn't carry the baggage of an ex - wolve; now a war (wiggins) brings to the court.

He might be a lottery pick , but he is a project.... first 2 years he will be a defensive stopper and an off ball weakside threat.
He would have to develop a shot to play off guard , and he doesn't have the height to compete against sf's like KD or even Luca.

Jumping high aint enough to be a good ball player.
The most physicallt gifted player I've ever seen live was DJ Stephens, 6'6 with 7 foot wingspan and a 46 inch vert.
He plays in the Ukraine now.

At one point Nick Young held a record for the highest no-step vert in combine history with 39.5 inches. Jumping high is the most overrated aspect of athletecism in basketball. Second jump is more important even.
