In some highlights I think he looks like a bigger, slower Tatum. In some he looks like Kyle Kusma. Then in some you wonder if he will have the foot speed to keep up in the NBA at all. If I had to guess, his upside is probably closer to a Kuzma level player than near a Tatum level player.
Still one of the younger prospects in the draft and legit measurables. He also seems to play with an edge...both good and bad.

I don’t see much of Tatum in him - looks more like a Avdija starter kit to me.
Deni also isn’t the fastest guy, but with his relentlessness and physicality and attacking mindset he does things on offense he shouldn’t be able to do.
