OK, he’s nowhere near top 5 “OMG HE WILL BE A STAR” level as he was 2 years ago. He’s still tall. He’s still lanky. He is still a shooter. He won’t be a 1st, or if he is a 1st, a very late first. Defense is still suspect.
If he drops in the 2nd, would you use a 2nd on him or is he to you damaged goods? I’d personally drop it and watch him on the Blue ball out.
I don’t think he fits our team at all but I think he could be a good player and has lowkey star potential for a most likely 2nd round pick
