Moses Wright projection and comparison?

I'm definitely intrigued by Moses Wright's aggression, tenacity and energy. But I'm struggling a bit with his potential projection. Also I've found it hard to find a somewhat reasonable comparison given his skillset and potential. He's got good size, strength, And really impressive vertical burst. He also has good length being 6'9 but with a 7'2 Wingspan I believe?

I really love his junkyard dog/ smashmouth in your face style of aggressive/ intense play. It takes me back to better days, Before the NBA became so finesse oriented and ultimately soft! That being said, I suppose for my part I see him as being somewhat a mix of a skinnier/ not as powerful yet better shooting Ben Wallace. Or maybe perhaps a bigger more explosive version of Montrez Harrell, But again with better shooting.

And for his upside projection, I could realistically see him having serious 6th man potential as a impactful 2 way energy end of rotation big. But what do you guys see with him. What's an accurate/ reasonable comparison for him and his projectable outcome???

Struggling to come up with a good comparison, but I think of him as the Davion Mitchell of PFs...both will be quality 2-way rotation guys and deserve to be drafted in the late first or early second, but Mitchell's gonna be drafted way too high and Wright's gonna be drafted way too low.

Based on this tape the guy that comes to mind is early career Paul Millsap.

Been waiting on someone to finally bring him up. I mean he could sneak into the 2nd round, but even die hard Jacket fans doubt he can make it in the league.

He was really good in the ACC, however, the league was horrible as a whole. Alvarado probably has a higher ceiling as an NBA player honestly.

Alvarado is a natural and I could see him doing a 2 year stint in the g-league and then getting some run in the NBA as a result but he is not that athletic and it will hurt him imo.
Wright has the makings of a steal in the mid 2nd imo would not be surprised if he gets drafted and plays well off the bench for somebody right away.

Campazzo is a tempting comparison for Alvarado as another Hispanic PG. Both look ordinary physically, but are pests on D. Both adequate shooters. Campazzo obviously the superior passer, which makes the difference, but Alvarado still probably good enough to make an NBA roster.
