Funnest player in the draft.

Electric at the rim on both ends. Gobert level impact on D. Lefty helps him. High IQ and elite footwork. Crazy fast jumper. Great length. Plays with great energy and intensity.

Modern C. Everything I’d want if I was looking to build a modern NBA offense. Dunks, tips ins, putbacks, finishes. Low volume. Doesn’t need shots.

Kid is 17. Russian Australian.

I really like him as a center prospect. Reminds me of a longer and better quick-twitch Kel'el Ware/Dereck Lively II and without the attitude question marks surrounding Ware.

I don't have him in the Chet tier. I like him better as a Center prospect than Mobley but not overall given Mobley's entire package coming out.

Maybe a longer Noel is the best comparison? Seems like a high-floor prospect without potential for an elite floor game but still containing game-changing potential.

I could see a team like Chicago taking him in the later lottery or he could fall to the late teens to a team like Indy where he pairs excellent with Hali.

Rocco is my guy. Perfect fit for our uptempo pace. Kid is electric at the rim.

Our pick goes to SAS outside top ten. I think Rocco could go 8-16. So much scoring talent that will go top 7 IMO.
