Thanks for the honesty.

Think he’s super underrated because he isn’t the quickest guy and isn’t athletic. Super long, great jumper, great offensive rebounder, can defend inside-out and he’s just super skilled. His high post game or pick and pop game is going to kill defenses. I know this is a weird comparison, but he reminds me of a 6’7 version of Joel Embiid.
