Super NBA-ready. Good finisher and athlete who has great passing touch. He's physically strong and can punish you on the block. Not a traditional defender in the post, so he'll have to defend on the perimeter at the 4. If his 3-pointer can continue to develop, he'll be the top prospect for sure.
NBA Comp: Paolo, more athletic Al Horford, T-Wolves Kevin Love.
RANK
Low End: Luis Scola Median: Domantas Sabonis x Paul Millsap High End: Minnesota Kevin Love Pros: Rebounding, scoring, feel, defending, strength Cons: Verticality, burst Verdict: Productive, finds a way to score always. Elite rebounder and good feel allows easy points for him and teammates. Sometimes a bit too passive and settles for layups over dunks. Evades driving because of burst issue, but strength and feel helps a lot. Interior scoring should be fine with spacing though.
RANK
Pros:
wonderful interior touch and overall good finisher
works extremely well against contact
elite foul-drawer
good decision maker in dual-threat
almost guaranteed to be a great rebounder and great post defender
good cutter
takes advantage of lazy passes with his activity in passing lanes; fast break beast
Cons:
lacks elite vertical athleticism, burst, and foot speed while also being an undersized “tweener” big
bad overcommitment habits on defense; often steps up too high and struggles to recover
can struggle with tunnel vision
inconsistent jumper; can be an effective set shot off the catch but that’s it
settles for some bad quality shots in isolation
C: all-star
F: high-end bench piece
RANK
Great PnR big, very smart. I dont think hes athletic enough to play the 4, and I dont think hes big enough to play the 5. Despite what the numbers say, hes not a great rebounder and he gives up offensive rebound chances often. I think hes a good NBA prospect but I dont think he can lead a team.

Elite outlet passer.
Defensive awareness lapses
Jump shot form
Not an elite scorer but is reliable in all areas, secondary playmaker type. Elite rebounder, great passer for his size, especially on lead and outlet passes. Offensive game needs to improve, mostly bully ball and low efficiency at the rim. Will contribute to winning, but unlikely to be the go-to guy.
RANK
PROS Very smart and winning player Very good rebounder with strenght to guard up (can guard 5) Very good connective passer and out of the short roll Excellent Hit Ahead Passer (K-Love) Shot looks solid
CONS How does he create his own shot in the NBA? That does limit his Struggles against lenght at the rim in the Halfcourt
