I think he'd be too slow for the 3.

i think its tbd if he's a 4/5 defensively in the NBA, right now he's pretty much just a four unless he can prove he can defend the paint/rim at a + level, otherwise again, he's Julius Randle/Blake Griffin.
more sophisticated then either one offensively at the same stage but I think those are the correct comps at this point until he can prove he can play up or down a position. hopefully up to the 5.

I have Randle as his low end.

a guy who just averaged 24/10/6 on 46/41/81 is his low end? sheesh. i'd say more median outcome, he's hit high end if he's better defensively than Randle.
