Terrific rim protector and rebounder. Great finishing inside fun lob threat but can't really create for himself yet. Super intriguing prospect. Taller Clint Capela

Elite lob threat on the pick-and-roll. Has immense shot-blocking potential. Big and strong in the post. Has a nice middie jumper. The sky is the limit for athleticism. He passes pretty well for a big man. Needs to become more aggressive.

NBA Comp: Jonas Valanciunas

High End: combination of pre-draft and post-draft KAT Low End: Thon Maker/Luke Kornet Median outcome: post-Brooklyn Brook Lopez Pros: Moves really well (can follow wings on the perimeter somewhat), excellent size and frame (paint protection), soft touch and lob threat, intriguing shot (pre-college and FT) Cons: Very raw and needs to work on fundamentals (footwork) Verdict: Similar to some of the other lotto prospects, a very boom or bust player with tremendous upside. Does not show up in a lot of Duke games, but that's about to be as expected as a lot of emphasis is being placed on Flagg. While it is concerning how sometimes he just seems to be a pure non-factor in games, it is important to remember how new Khaman is to the sport. A player like Khaman will work even better on both ends in a league with much more space than he's currently playing in.

Dificult for me to evaluate like every center prospect. Still raw but has all the tools to be a good center. He has a lot of upside (young in the sport) and is the best center avalaible in the draft.
