My Draft Position - Late First/Early Second Round Pick

Skilled big who will provide his offensive value with offensive rebounding, elite passing for his size/position and ball screen usage. While he can absolutely finish at the rim either off the catch or lob, that ball screen usage will show best when he is in short roll situations to either score with his floater, left or right hand, or read the defense and distribute the ball to teammates. The questions offensively revolve mostly around a complete lack of floor spacing to even 15 feet, let alone the 3P line. He is a very active and mobile big man defender who projects to provide the most value to a scheme that would utilize his versatility. Has really good awareness and will consistently be in the right position. Uses great hand activity to be disruptive on this end of the floor.
