Would he be a steal in the 2nd round? Assuming we can acquire a pick to select him.... Ranked 14th pick 2nd Round...Pros:Needs to Improve:
- Great size at 6?11″, nice length with a 7?4? wingspan, big body in the post with nice athleticism
- Solid post game, can play with his back to the basket or face up, more developed than most of his peers (17.9 points per game as a senior)
- Excellent perimeter jumper, comfortable and consistent shooter from midrange, face up game extends to 18 feet
- Exceptional shot blocker thanks to good timing and length (3.6 blocks per game as senior)
- Legit rebounder, especially on the offensive board, due to length and athleticism (10.1 as a senior)
- Building upper body strength and muscle (at least 10-15 lb.s), will get him pushed out of the paint, toughness
- Tendency to force shots in the paint under duress, frequently just throws himself into the defense in hopes of being fouled
- Gets into foul trouble quite frequently in the NCAA, can be overaggressive on D
