cmb has been arguably the biggest riser for me so far throughout this draft process.

cmb is another one of those players which i think teams could find use of quickly due to how he can do a little bit of everything in solid fashion.

while his prototype and frame does worry me, not sure how many teams want to take a small big man who doesn't shoot, his other intangibles are solid in my opinion and i just think he's an enjoyable player to watch.

Has a very high ceiling as a defensive player. Is very strong and can get to the rim. He could operate in the post for USC this year. He has a nice mid-range jumper but his 3-ball needs work.

Not the upside of a 1st or 2nd option but could be one of the best role players itl. Defender, high IQ, versatile are all traits that make his projection a bit dependant of the team he will be selected in (will be really great if in a good team).
