The other contender for top center in the draft, Mara, shot in the 50's from free throws this year. He was in the 30's during the year. So he is not a marksman either. Much better passer. Both are good defenders. Quintance provides much more flexibility on defense where as Mara is your typical drop center. He will have trouble defending anyone on the perimeter.
I like Quintance as a move up pick with #30 and some asset (or use of the TPE to take on a salary). I don't think I'd take him and Brown in the same draft from an injury concern standpoint, but long term upside is too great. He may not be able to shoot, but I did see some self creation from beyond the FT line in several of those highlights.
