Achiuwa is like Trez Harrell with less length.

pretty damn good length though. probably more skilled than Harrell, but Harrell is pretty unique. one of those guys who you can find comparisons for, but for whatever reasons, those guys can't do what he does at that level.

I think PA is much more versatile fast twitch & more mobile laterally than Harrell who is more of a straight-line vertical explosive athlete.

Grant is under 6'8 in shoes and about 215 lbs. He's also nowhere near as stout in fighting for rebounds. Otoh, I doubt Achiuwa ever develops a 3 ball.

I disagree about Achiuwa shooting i think its an underrated part of his arsenal.
I mean hes not a good shooter yet but the shooter ability already exists.not a terrible ball handler or anything either...
Im more concerned about his ability to pass or lack thereof and he may fade into the fog and be quickly forgotten if he isnt picked by a rebuild team where he gets reps at a high level esp in a season when gleague is probably cancelled

He’s a fine shooter. He can make an open three now and again, but you don’t want him taking more than one or two a game. He’s not disciplined at all and his shots don’t have a lot of energy behind them. He’s going to be a backup throughout his career, but a valuable back up.

I dont agree about a career backup ceiling at all I mean if he does not ever improve he's a rotation energy guy easily and the odds he doesn't improve are far less than that he will given the motor etc.
I would have no problem taking him in the 10-15 range
