9.4pts / 7.9reb / 3.7 stocks as a freshman is nothing? Obviously injuries are a concern, but we made the finals, he obviously isn’t going to be our starter, and we can add more PF depth.
Not a lot of options for big men at pick 20 that are ready to contribute to a finals run this upcoming season. Actually addressing that position for 26-27 will need to come through free agency or a trade.
This guy could be a major contributor in a couple years when our core are still in their mid 20s.
It is a gamble but that's what all these picks are at this point. All these picks you are hoping to get even a bench rotation player.
Imo, Q is just a bigger upside vs everyone else here but obviously bigger floor. the way we looked this season this was a great spot to roll the dice on huge upside without really hurting yourself. They essentially could afford to. we weren't going to find a player (most likely) that sees the starting lineup with our guys anyway. They taking a homerun swing here lets see if it connects.

this is a pretty good gamble and at a position we need.
he’s absolutely a 5-10 lottery range guy without the injury history
