I think he has alot of potential but he also has a few major flaw that can maybe be corrected.
With that said, I don't think he is worth a lottery pick or even a first round pick, but I wouldn't mind getting him in the late second round or undrafted free agent.
Like a lot have already mentioned, his jump shot needs alot of work. He shows some flashes of being a good player from time to time but he is going to need alot of coaching to bring up his offensive IQ and defensive IQ because he looks lost most of the game.
I think he can be a poor man's Shawn Livingston and maybe eventually be a 7th or 8th man off the bench in time.
A 7th/8th man in a rotation is a 1st round pick.
Jordan Clarkson, and Norman Powell are 7th-8th men on their teams. So if you have a point, you need to try harder junior.
