RotationPre-Draft 2026“Truly elite defender. Ultimate glue guy on a team. Hustles, gets steals, blocks, offensive rebounds, all at a high rate. Is always in the right place. Lots of contributions that don't show up on the stat sheet. Good lob threat. Lots of length, good movement, good bounce. Main issue is that he's a non-shooter from the perimeter. Think he has standalone value just as a lockdown defender, and could have a role just based on that. Will fit into any team. Key to his career will be how does his perimeter shot develop. If he can get to the point where he shoots 35% from three, he's probably a starter. Have a hard time projecting his shot to improve that much though, so going with him as a rotation player.”
