Where 7 boards rank this prospect
William Kyle is a human pogo stick. Has just about the most vertical pop I can ever recall seeing in a big man prospect. Explosion off the floor is insane. About as good of a weak side shot blocker as you can get, and is also good off of a standstill as well. Best pure shotblocker in the class. He isn't overly big though, in terms of height or weight (6'9", 215), and would certainly be undersized for an NBA Center. Worry about him being pushed around on the boards with his lack of bulk. Moves well defensively, and could probably switch onto smaller players in the pick and roll. Don't worry about him defensively. Offensively he's an elite lob threat, but doesn't offer anything else. No shot at all, and has one of the worst FT shooting motions I've ever seen. Legitimately painful to watch. He has a legit NBA skill (shot blocking/rim protection), but is undersized for his role, and offers you nothing on offense outside of a lob threat. Could carve out a niche as a role player, but think he would have to expand his offensive game some to play a significant role. It's also possible he's too undersized to stick in the league.
