Combine that with his wingspan, strength, athleticism and he can guard 4's no problem. Watch him out on a basketball floor and he does not look undersized at all. He's very explosive and a lob threat but also has some wiggle in his game, there is some shades of Siakam with the way he moves out there, a lot to work with and mold despite his age.
Everyone else is wearing shoes too.
So add 1.25 inches to everyone else.

Dude is a likeable Draymond small ball center

He’s like 6’6. I hope he can eventually develop to be more of a SF/PF than PF/C

That's barefoot. He has a 9"0 standing reach

He’s not a high level shot blocker or rim protector
6’7 with shoes is still tough to play C no matter the standing reach. Back up small ball C, maybe, but that depends on the match up.

I assume he'd be a PF, but yeah I wouldn't expect them to stick him on Embiid, still more of help defense blocker. For a guy his size he might be top 3 fastest 3/4 court sprint for a 3/4 etc. He's got some athleticism.
Like for context Donovan Mitchell ran a 3.01 which is one of the best ever, best in his class that year. Mogbo ran a 3.02. Derrick Rose ran a 3.05.

I think we likely develop him similar to Siakam, will probably spend some time in the G League where we allow him to play a lot more with the ball in his hands.

That being said, LOVE this pick.
