RANK

High End: Shareef Abdur-Rahim/Pistons Blake Griffin Low End: Jonathan Mogbo/Enrique Freeman Median outcome: Xavier Tillman Pros: Rebounding, touch/feel, scoring, defense, motor Cons: Age, shooting Verdict: Elite rebounding machine with great post-scoring and good feel to find open players around him. Yaxel should enter the league as an impactful role player who can connect the dots on offense while also guarding multiple positions. There are shooting concerns with Yaxel, but they should not matter in a scaled down role in the league. The questions begin with his upside projection as not only is he an older player, but he just isn't assertive enough with his scoring ability to the point where he can sometimes 'disappear' during offensive sets before showing up again for a rebound. A player like Lendeborg is more likely to be a role player, but the ceiling is certainly tantalizing.

#12

RANK

A versatile, older 6'9" forward with a high motor, strong frame, and exceptional basketball IQ, thriving as a connector and facilitator. His lengthy wingspan and defensive anticipation allow him to make plays, though his foot speed struggles against quicker perimeter players. His overall role clarity and inconsistent outside shooting need refinement for an NBA role.

NBA Comp: Draymond, less bouncy Obi Toppin
