This guy exploded for a huge game recently v Alabama. 35pts 9rebs 6 blocks, and his season numbers are very solid. Having a closer look, I can't find any issues with this guy, and am very confused why he isn't considered a better prospect?.
He's 19yo, 6'9 with a 7'1 wingpsan, 240lbs, perfect NBA power forward size. His offensive stills are solid, 77% fts, 60% 2pfgs, 20pts/40mins. He gets blocks, steals, doesn't turn it over, rebounding well offensively. His poor defensive rebounding seems like his only weakness, as well as the fact that he's nothing amazing in terms of offensive skills. But the bottom line is that if he can defend well, shoot, and finish, that's a very good NBA player. He seems like a fine athlete, plays solid d, and hustles. I think when he gains a bit more upper body strength a few of his rebounding problems will go away.
Why isn't he being talked about more? Draftexpress has him at 42 in their mock draft at the moment. Honestly this guy looks like top 20 pick to me, I think he's probably superior to other 1st round PF prospects like Montrezl Harrell or Adriean Payne.
