Big guy - decently athletic and can block shots just by putting his arms up.

But expecting him to be a dynamic playmaker is a stretch - he’s got room to develop but I don’t see him getting anywhere near being a 20 ppg guy in the NBA.

Dunk is a pretty high percentage shot - but you got to get him the ball and he has to be able to move with the ball to dunk - and I don’t see either happening.

He will be above average defensively to start - and who knows maybe he will develop more with the right supporting cast. But expecting him to be the next great center is unrealistic. NBA doesn’t value the center position like they used to - he may be picked outside of the top 5 picks where 20 years ago he’d be a certain top pick.
