the more i watch this guy the more I am convinced he might be the biggest sleeper in the draft, he's been completely under the radar so far for a guy with his size, mobility, athleticism, and shot blocking chops...can also set screens/roll at a high level for someone his age.

also...a 7-1 guy that can do this?

i'm havin a tough time leaving him off the top45 list if I make one.

He might go undrafted, if he declared this year , maybe he got the guarantee from some team .

He is in my top 45, I would take him late 1st to early 2nd.

Very nice find man! :bowdown:

He's definitely very impressive. Two questions though.
1- With his mobility and speed, Do you think he could be versatile enough to possibly play at either the 4 or the 5?
2- Wherein abouts do you see his draft range being ( most likely) come draft time?

He can't play 4, he has the center build , he's not that mobile to guard opposing pf's and he is not the three point shooter either.

he can play the 4 defensively but not offensively

as to where he'll be drafted, no clue...I personally think he should go top45 but i'm not really hearing much about him otherwise from many people...i think odds are more likely that he goes undrafted than drafted at this point but we'll see. he's definitely in the super sleeper category.

Glad to see him get drafted.

Surprised he got drafted after how he performed at the G League Elite camp. Struggled defensively at times.

Well, nice to see something nice said about him. Was a complete wth pick for me at the time.

He's probably going to play professionally in Serbia for a few years as a draft and stash. His dual citizenship helps him here I think.
