Yes, he is very athletic, and yes, he is a probable first round selection. This guy is an athlete with height and that suits him in the NBA. He may not be the best defensive player, but he is no liability and I think he will eventually have the lateral quickness to compete at the next level. With that said, he is sound on the offensive end. He possesses a nice midrange game. He can leap and has the ability to shoot from the perimeter. Anytime you have a player like that who is capable of manning the 3 spot in the NBA, you have a potential lottery. As of now, I would say that he is top 20 looking in if he were to withdraw today. His midrange separates him from most players at the collegiate level.
