    He’s got a nice middie but his finishes around the rim are kinda ugly. At his height not sure if it translates.

    One thing that may save him is he’s a pretty beefy guy so maybe he can bully ball on drives.

    A lot of the things he does look like they could translate. He's very shifty and uses angles extremely well. Comfortable with taking contested shots and good at making them. Comfortable with contact and can easily bump bigger players out of the way. Good stepback game. It's always a crapshoot in this draft range, but I think there's a real chance he's an NBA rotation player, and the nice thing is, if he's not going to translate we're going to know it right away since he was a college senior and not have to waste time waiting on him to mature. Either he's going to play valuable bench minutes next season or we can move on.
