Fascinating opinion considering he is regarded to be best basketball prospect in the world right now.

I would wager that he is on the Zion / AD / KD tier by the time he is draft eligible. He is a unicorn. A 3PT shooting Ralph Sampson.

lol, quite the take considering he's the assumed #1 overall pick in 2023 draft and is considered one of the best prospects we've seen the last 2 decades, maybe up there with the ADs, KDs and Zions.

dude is 7-3...and a legit 7-3...here is he next to Chet Holmgren who's a legit 7-footer and he looks absolutely monstrous next to him:
dude averaged 5.7 blocks per game in U19s:
thoughts? anyone else that comes to mind the could be a better shot blocking prospect? maybe Anthony Davis?
