I just wonder if his play will translate...it's one thing to dominate when you're playing in a league with dudes who don't come close to matching your size and another completely when you play on the court with dudes who know how to compete against big men

He's not going to back down Gobert or Ayton like in the video. But if he really has range out to the 3 line he could be a problem for defenses. Give him some time and he will bulk up some.

He's going to go pretty high in the first round, but so did Bender and we saw how that turned out.

His range is crazy impressive but we'll see how that translates as well and if he can do that under pressure.

That's an impressive video, but he doesn't seem strong enough to play in the paint in the NBA yet.
