I think he would have been the 1.01 in this year's draft even if ATL had to wait a year while he plays at Duke.
Possibly the best sub-7 foot prospect in the last decade.
Hoping the Clippers implode this year so the Thunder can get him with their swap.
He'll 100% be 1 and done, but not sure his ceiling is high enough (yet) for 'best in the league'. I think right now his star comp is a Jayson Tatum-eque star (very very good, not quite elite).Aggie Class of 2026 said:
Anyone else think this guy has the potential to be a super star at the ultimate level? Larry Bird2.0
Some think he will be a 1 and done. Playing for Duke this year, should be interesting

Man, I don't know. He's looking like he's got as high a ceiling as anyone right now. He's going to be a nice addition to Team USA. Made some great plays today
The thing that stands out about him by far for me is his on court presence. When I first discovered him his film was from his JR year in HS. He played so calm and looked natural out there but I had assumed it was due to him being head and shoulders above the competition in every way at that level.M.C. Swag said:Aggie Dad 26 said:M.C.

He'll be an impact defensive player from day 1 and will be a multi year DPOY candidate, but how high his ceiling is will be determined by his offense. He doesn't really have any dominant offensive skills. His handle is pretty average and his ability to create his own shot seems to come and go. He can make any pass a player is supposed to make, but he's not a Luka/Jokic level creator for others. He's far more dangerous in a transition offense than playing against a set defense. And his 3pt shot looks weird and he's not comfortable taking them.
Don't get me wrong, non of these things means he won't be GREAT, but to be the BEST IN THE WORLD with his current offensive "bag", he's gonna have to become the most physical post player in the league (a la Giannis or Shaq). If his offensive skill improves, then the sky is the limit. But right now he's basically a rich man's Pascal Siakam or a poor man's KG.
