he has the same body language that Simmons had. His talent is immense so he flashes constantly but he's not putting his body on the line to jeopardize his NBA career for a meaningless one and done year so he appears lackadaisical and "too cool for school". His coach is embarrassing and his teammates aren't any good so that doesn't help. I think many of these top guys resent needing to go to college. If not for them hiring his brother (how is this legal?) as a coach I really don't think he would have chosen to go to college. Anyway, back to his play...
His game is made for the NBA. He won't shine with collapsing defenses and no shooters around him. He's going to be a PnR nightmare for defenses and with his passing, BBIQ and ability to score on all three levels he's going to be a perennial all-star. He had a bad shooting night but several shots were halfway down and he was being doubled. He won't be doubled in college so it'll be real tough keeping him contained. The deciding factor of whether he becomes a superstar will be how serious he takes his conditioning. If he's like Giannis and hits the weights and is a workout warrior he'll be a superstar. If he doesn't he'll be a star but not ever in the MVP discussion like his upside suggests is possible.
