2742148, Great bucket getter... but that's literally all he does.

He's an appalling defender, and he never passes the ball. But man, he just flat out gets BUCKETS. Incredible pull up game, incredible at getting to the line, and though his percentages from beyond the arc weren't great, a lot of those were tough shots on a high volume-- and his free throw percentage being near 90% definitely suggests he should at least be an average to plus 3PT shooter.

So... I don't think you can draft him to start. Unless you think he's a star (I don't), you draft him because you think he can be an incredible bench burner, an instant offense type. I think his best case is... like, smaller TJ Warren? Better Malik Monk? But if you're looking for a starter, unless you're sculpting your offense around this guy, I wouldn't draft him. Because I'm not convinced that he long term contributes to winning basketball if he's one of your main pieces.
