He's a fantastic defender/ rebounder/ finisher. He's long, rangy, and super athletic.
For the season he's averaging about 11 points, 5 boards, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover on 56.5/ 44.4/ 72 splits. Against Florida he put up 18/9/7 to lead Tech into the Sweet 16. He needs to continue to develop on the offensive end (he needs to tighten his handle and work on getting his shot off quicker), but I can see him becoming a star in the future.
Depending on how he plays the rest of the tourney I see him going as high as top-10, but definitely in the lottery.

That's actually a guy I've been watching, did kinda mention him earlier in this thread:

I could honestly see him being higher on this list, his growth has been fairly steady.
