It is interesting how he will be rated. He actually has a negative wingspan and his athleticism is pretty poor. Jaden actually has a longer wingspan.
He is still very young and he makes some incredibly difficult shots. But his role to at least get started in the NBA will not require this. He will need to defend, spread the floor and limit the mistakes. He has never been asked to do this.
His first year at Memphis can be explained away. He was out for a lot of the season and probably wasn't quite ready...especially with the lofty expectations. This year is a little more difficult to explain. He put up good #s but not good stats...if that makes sense. He went to a lower level and his team was bad. Was he part of the reason why they were bad? You would think a top recruit could have elevated a team at that level.
Spend 10 minutes watching his highlights and they are pretty eye opening. His lowlights must be awful though considering the shots he takes.
