1 spot before us.

NBA is different. Be curious how his career goes.

With the footwork and free throw form he has nba offensive upside. First time I saw him I thought he was a Travis knight clone but this guy more skilled. That center from Michigan is going to be good too. But this guy anchor number 1 team and he’s got good gears to him. Long athletic player. I’m old school. Like 4-5 positions but league is guard centric

Need to go spend some time seeing Kessler's highlights against someone other than a Texas A&M team that doesn't know how to pass and can at least fake playing post defense.

Might be tough to do, but I do like the idea of replicating the "golden age" of Rolo/KP's league best rim defense, rather than watching the seemingly endless stream of uncontested dunks against us now.

Kessler might be the best rim protector in years to come out of college. He also has a developing jumper, although it’s not quite there yet. If it develops he is the next Myles Turner. He will never be a star but should be a high level starter or at least rotation player. He would be a great compliment to Mitch. Between Mitch, Kessler and Sims, the center position would be set for years. Downfall is he’s not overly mobile. He might get stuck on an island in switches but he’s really good. The lack of value in the center position keeps him out of the Top 10.

Have to keep our heads. We need to hit the draft and get rid of some of these older guys

Myles turner is not that good. He spends way too much time in bathe perimeter. I think Kessler has much better potential as a low post player who can occasionally shoot a 3. If u want a center who can shoot 3s and clog the middle( only a fair shot blocker) Dickinson from Michigan is another option.

Kessler would be very fortunate to eventually be as good as Turner. Kessler isn’t going to be an elite post player. His value will be as a league best rim protector, finisher and enough outside shooting to be a championship level starting center if it comes together.
