Any concerns with the looks like Tarzan plays like Jane meme?


He reminds me of Kenny Wooten if Kenny had just basic skills. Sims looks like he can face up a little and he has some wiggle in the post. But he is a project. I think more compelling prospects will drop, so why commit. Wait and see who else is available on the draft board.

At pick 32 I’d like to get a center. Perfect spot. I think this player physically is not valued correctly

I get lesser Jaxson Hayes vibes without needing to select him at #8.

is he smart? can he QB the defense? Can he guard a guy like Giannis (who btw was guarding Trae)

Sometimes big guys take time to develop

I think this guy is like buying a stock after the first move before it explodes up


Even his last 3 games of his college career speaks volumes where he might be going

I'll remain a skeptic, but respect your opinion

I'm thinking here's a big man who can jump through the roof, playing against kids and all we know about him is how he measured at combine. maybe at 32 he's worth the risk????

I’m not sure anyone can stop giannis the way no one be can stop curry or lebron. But when you’re in a fight. It’s always good to have Atleast the same size strength and agility as opponent. Tgis guy at 6-10+ 252 7-4 wingspan and a freak athletic burst. He’s got the same athletic ability as Zion. But his specialty is defense with offensive upside


His last 3 games

14 points. 12 rebounds 2 assists 2 steals. 3 blocks avg 77% fg. This guy can be the legit new version of Dray green on D

I agree. ESPN's last mock has him to the Knicks at 58. I don't see him lasting that long.

This guy has a lot of untapped potential

While not overly skilled he is a very solid nba defender right now and minimum a lob target. But watching his skills he can be so much more. In fact he is so advanced physically for a center that I’d love for the Knicks to acquire abs develop
