Like, the shooting is there, the size is there, and he uses his size combined with effort to play decent enough defense.

But I don't think he's got much NBA level offense as anything other than a catch-and-shoot guy right now, and I don't think he's athletic enough or strong enough to be a plus defender right now.

So I think he's worth a flier in the second round, just to see if he can pop in the additional space of an NBA floor, but he screams "guy who will spend a few years in the G-League" to me. Probably should've gone back to school, tbh-- could've worked on shot creation, handles, strength, etc.
