Def a steal in the 2nd round this year !!! What do you think of him ?

[No-Man]

Not a NBA player to me, probably ends up with ASVEL I would imagine, I think he can be a solid back up in EuroLeague

[UcanUwill]

Probably the most athletic Euro I can think of, if he ends in Euroleague, my god...

The best defender in the NCAA should have a better steal rate.

There are more things to athleticism than straight up vertical, he is not the most athletic euro, nor close

The best defender in CBB is the reigning DPOY, Marcus Garrett at Kansas.

He should've spent every single second of the last 4 years in the gym working on his jump shot. His offensive game is non-existent. Defense alone won't get him drafted. Now if he had a shot that would be a little different, but right now he is a athlete, not a Basketball player

I used to use Pons as an example when people used to say, "Zion is only getting these kinds of numbers in college because of how strong and athletic he is." I would then point to Pons who was putting up like 2ppg. Because ya Pons is a hell of a physical specimen. Strong 6'6 body with crazy bounce and solid overall athleticism, but has no basketball skill. The sad thing is, 2 years later Pons is still essentially the same player.

Pons has zero natural feel for basketball. If he was 5 inches taller, ya I could see a team taking a chance on him. You see teams take chances on raw 6'10-6'11 bigs late in the 1st or early in the 2nd a lot. But the dude is 6'6 with zero basketball skills and so far has shown very little progression in his 4 years in college.

He should genuinely try out as a NFL Tight End
