SO he may never had been really a top 10 pick anyway but since most mocks place him there I'd say odds are greater he won't go before 12 .
as far as surprising riser, I'd say Knox has the potential to crack the top 10 and Jontay has the potential to crack the late lottery.
as far as a surprising slide, I'd say Carter could go late teens
as far as a strong possibility to slide, depending on the medicals Micheal Porter could go later than Jontay.
read that Jontay had very poor combine, slow and high body fat % and didn't shoot well at all
His athletic testing was poor (as expected) except for the lane agility test where he was decent, and the shuttle run where he had the 2nd best time for any big.
His BF% isn't actually a concern IMO as he's already made a lot of progress in that area the last couple years, it explains his lack of athleticism, and provides an obvious avenue to improve that athleticism. Not to mention him being super young for his class, meaning his body has more time to develop and mature.
He also shot well, dunno where you're getting the idea that he didn't from. He shot 16/26 on spot-up NBA 3s. Tied for 1st among bigs.
