I think it's obvious that he's the best player in this draft and probably will remain the best in the class until the end of their rookie contracts.
That said, he's not an elite athlete and this limits his potential on defense and offense.
As for his strengths, he is a good shooter and playmaker but how much can he improve these skills? He's not going to shoot like Curry or pass like Magic and that means he's capped as a rich man's Gordon Hayward (with better playmaking but worse defense and athleticism). That's still a great player but I don't know if it's worth taking over Ayton who's potentially (although unlikely) the second coming of David Robinson.
Well, this is embarrassing. Is it too early to say that I nailed it with this pro analysis?
