I really like this pick. some mocks have him going in the 20s in the first round.
he has the height, the build and a nice touch from 3, and great footwork, and fantastic hops. I see him as more of a large PF. no midrange game. good defensive instincts. Alondes Williams fell out of the draft, not listed on the first or 2nd round at this point. |

I like him, I heard he tested poorly last year on the vertical jump at the combine. But he’s 7 feet, so not sure it matters as much.
I have warmed up more to Mark Williams if we draft a center. |

How many 7 footers even in the NBA can shoot from range mid range dribble pass but still a good defender? In that league he has to play guys who are smaller and case guys around but still blocked 1,5 a game RIP Crushalot😞

nor impessed. You know who I liked- after watching only five minutes, if that, of the Miami/Kansas game? David McCormack- he reminds me of Naz Reid - big body, occupies a lot of space, fluid movement, decent looking offensive game.
He is projected to be either a late 2nd rounder or undrafted. |

He looks like a two way starter. How does he have such an advanced offensive game and not be a lottery pick? Must be a very deep draft. I mean he looks like Melo with that turnaround jumper. And the jabstep. And the advanced footwork in the paint. And a silky smooth 3 pointer. I mean what's the catch? And this guy also blocks shots like it's going out of style. Definitely passes the eye test.

He does look skilled and maybe he's a late bloomer. That said he moves like he's stuck in molasses and makes ISO decisions slower than Randle. Watching his clips I felt like I knew his moves before he did them... almost like he is thinking them out as he's doing them in slow motion.
Can't see him being anything other than a end of bench guy as his lack of athleticism and speed with decision-making would make him a dinosaur in today's game. If this were early 2000's I'd say sure he could be a dominant Channing Frye-type. 5 years ago Enes Kanter would be running circles around him. |

He actually moves extremely well for his size. He is the size of Mitchell Robinson, roughly. Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair

He plays smaller than his size. I think he is too slow for the NBA. |
