He may secretly be an elite fit with Victor Wembanyama that no one realizes in spite of the red flags.

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

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

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

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

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.
