This was a good pick, 7'5" wingspan, can guard the perimeter, 6'10" with a 40 inch vertical !

He lacks skills but lordy does he have potential.
Potential as what? I don’t see much potential at all on offense. On defense, yes. He might be great and could help with bounding. But that free throw shooting...
I think he'll be able to hit open midrange shots on the baseline with some consistency, I've seen him hit a number of them in games I watched last year. He was better as a freshman.
He dominated Kentucky last year vs. Fox and Monk, tho his team lost, he had a 22+ 12+ double double. He's an elite NBA athlete and a good shot blocker, with a 7'6" wingspan and a 40" vertical. He has the tools to be 70-80% of DJ or Capella. That's great value at #27.
Now let's buy a late 2nd and draft Shake Milton, Trevon Duval or Rawle Alkins.
