Please let this be OUR sleeper Danny!!!  Hey Jordan, do NOT block any more shots to beat top 2 teams the rest of the stinking year:-))))

He was key in beating Arizona recently. Impossible last shot block

not the most recent highlight clip of him but you get the picture. Good looking shot blocker. Physical. One big weakness is that he just has mediocre lateral footspeed. Could be a problem when performing PNR defense in the nba

Thanks triboy!!  I think these were all from one game, the Marquette game. Impressive!!!!  I love how he typically blocks shots WITHOUT fouling!!

Measures over 7-1 in socks and has a 7-4 wingspan

That's legit length right there. There's something to work with.

Don't really know about his upside for his overall game and athleticism, but man, 7'2" with 7'4" wingspan, that's great tools to be a rim protector.

Edit: He's a solid athlete looking at his Youtube clips. I'm on board.

I'm not an expert on wingspan but is his arms a little short for someone that tall?  Doesn't Noah Vonleh who is 6'10" have the same wingspan?

It is 1/2" shorter than Dwight Howard's wingspan was when he was drafted.  1.5" shorter than Anthony Davis.  1/2" MORE than Marcin Gortat's was coming out.  1.75" shorter than Larry Sanders.  6.25" MORE than Kelly Olynyk:-))  Just to give you some context.

In other words, his wingspan is perfectly FINE!!!

your right. But Bachynski is also 7'2. He has longer reach then Noah i'm guessing

Asik is a legitimate 7 footer with ONLY a 7'2".  Jordan will be fine!!!!

Im not sure as well if that's an impressive wingspan for a guy his size.

But that's still a 7'4" wingspan. Simply put, his height and wingspan is the same as Roy Hibbert's. That length definitely would bother shots.

We had one of these type of players already in Fab Melo

Fab Melo doesnt have this kind of length. And Bachysnski looks like he has better hands.

My real concern now is, IIRC, we dont have a second rounder. He maybe a risk as a first rounder right now, but his stock his rising.

I think he can be a contributor as a pro. At worst he can play 16 minutes per game for any team and be a presence on the interior on defense. That may not be worth a first round though.
