Not gonna lie, I think he needs his own thread.

6'11" with a 7'5" wingspan.
Will be 19 on draft night
Smooth and accurate outside shooter
Can put it on the floor, too - in the half court or in the open floor
Good rim protector. Decent at defending out on the perimeter.
A true stretch big - has the size, rim protection and rebounding to play the 5. Has the shooting and mobility to play the 4. At this point I think he really can play either the 4 or the 5. That versatility gives him even more value.
Long arms, long strides

Here he is, getting the ball on the wing, crossover dribble, spin move and then puts a dude on a poster:

His interior defense and defensive rebounding vs Bidunga isn't great in this game but he does hit 4/6 from 3:

Top 10 pick, imo.
1/11/24 The birth of a new Hal. From now on being less combative, avoiding confrontation - like Switzerland :)

Looks like him and Tyler Smith are a couple of Leonard Miller types
