Draft Prospect Outlook
Strengths:
Floor-spacing potential as career 33.2 percent 3-point shooter; physical big man
Weaknesses:
Not a versatile, switchy defender; could be targeted on the perimeter in pick and rolls at the NBA level; lacks elite athleticism and bounce, which hinders his rim-protecting ability; not a great finisher in traffic/ through contact
Deeper Dive:
• Pro comparison: Less talented Joel Embiid
• All-AAC First Team in 2017; All-Big 12 First Team in 2019
• Led every college team he played on in scoring -- twice at Memphis and lastly at Kansas
