Interesting game. Really impressive physically strong and moves well, leaper. Good shot blocker and perimeter defender. Not buying the perimeter game offensively yet not shooting well. Mainly operates in the paint but really good at it. Will have to keep an eye on him but love the upside. Shades John Collins coming out of college.

Asa Newell High End: John Collins Low End: Zeke Nnaji/Marvin Bagley III Median outcome: Jonathan Isaac Pros: Frame, athleticism, defense, rebounding, shooting Cons: Raw, size, shot consistency Verdict: While Asa Newell’s wiry frame is intriguing, he still needs to fill up his body to stand up against NBA big men. He has great length to protect the rim and his ability as a roaming help defender allows him to get blocks on defense. Newell also has good switchability onto the perimeter, being able to keep up with a lot of guards in SEC play. He does the traditional big things quite well, but his tweener size is a bit of a concern on offense as despite his willingness to shoot, the 3pt shots are still clanking off the rim. His offense is largely a WIP and mostly just resorts to dunker spot offense or being a play finisher. NBA spacing should help him figure it out as opposed to the clogged paint in college.

newell has also been a big riser for me.
i've started to realize newell is more of a center than anything, and i've started to appreciate what he could do defensively and as a finisher more and more each film watch.
while i still think he's a fairly limited prospect and his potential isn't very high, as well as thinking he's somewhat raw, i've grown on him and like him a bit more, yet i'm not really a huge fan either.

Cons:

Conclusion:
Prospect ceiling: High level starter, if shot gets going maybe all star.
Pick Range: 7-14
NBA Comp: A centre version of Jonathan Isaac, kinda John Collins, less shooting, more size version of these guys. No real direct Comp. I could see Trayce Jackson-Davis
Best Fits: -

He is a great athlete and rim protector. Can play the four and five and is the best floor-spacing big in the draft. His shooting isn't high-level but he has definite potential as a floor stretcher. He projects as a four in the NBA but he will need to handle and pass it better than he does now.

Really good complementary piece with some upside. Still raw. Good defensively and the shoot will decide the offense (it's promising). Do it all frontcourt player. Not really sure if he's a center but could be a good forward.
