My Draft Board

“- Half of NBA Draft Twitter will tell you Tanner is a top 10 prospect, and the other half will tell you he's never going to make it in the NBA, I'm split in the middle, I do think he's talented enough to be a first round pick and carve out an important role on a team, but I still have doubts of his high-end upside - Tanner is incredibly quick with the ball and his change of speed along with his downhill pressure allows him to get to the rim despite his size - His strong ability to get to the rim opens up the offense for him, making good reads as a playmaker and getting to the line at a high rate, all while maintaining good control of the offense - Defensively there's a lot to like, he's a very good POA defender that loves to disrupt passing lanes and force turnovers - There's a lot to like with Tanner and he's definitely going to have a good role in the NBA, but there's no denying that he's undersized and his outside shooting still needs some more work, will definitely be a volatile prospect up until draft night”
