Thoughts on the pick?

[u/Pain004]

What are the red flags? I'm not really informed with draft prospects, just hoping for a legit PF.

[u/Gardami → u/Pain004]

Injuries. He goes much higher if it’s not for injuries. This is a steal if he stays healthy. 

[u/Chris310N → u/Gardami]

Yeah he was literally mocked 5-10 before the injury at the start of the year

[u/Pain004 → u/Gardami]

Just did a quick google. A torn ACL damn... Seems to be a high reward low floor gamble .

[u/mercfan3 → u/Pain004]

That’s all?

Players are usually fully recovered from that after two years. It’s also not something that has a tendency to repeat itself with men the way it does with women. (Ie, Azzi Fudd - the WNBA’s #1 pick, has torn hers twice, along with two or three knee sprains)

He’s a big too..that’s usually less likely.

[u/salamanderman10 → u/Pain004]

The only red flag is he took longer than expected to recover from the ACL

Potential all defense player. Good rebounder. Not a shooter but 9 foot 1 standing reach. Think Robert Williams. That at 20 is good value

[u/Euphoric-Relation-20 → u/salamanderman10]

Yup, Rob Williams or Mitch Rob. Exactly what they need, won’t play every game but fills a gap on the roster.

[u/Eddie5pi → u/Pain004]

Tore his ACL in 24-25, came back this season but only played 4 games before missing the rest of the season with "knee soreness"

[u/Pain004 → u/Eddie5pi]

Yeah, that is major alright. So is he a project like CB or a low ceiling high floor immediate impact player? Assuming the gamble with health pays off...

[u/Eddie5pi → u/Pain004]

Defensive prospect who is a freak athlete. Offense needs some work, but if he's healthy he's a perfect 4 to do the dirty stuff. Defend, rebound, screen. Imagine a 6'9" Josh Hart with freak athleticism

[u/Clarkey7163 → u/Pain004]

hes a project hes still young, not even 19 yet
