    Capela 2.0 but much higher defensive upside imo. We have no chance but would be nice. Harden would make him an all star.

    Incredibly long arms... 7-foot-8 wingspan. He's a surefire lottery pick.

    Yup, his defensive skills alone are elite already. He's a more athletic Gobert which is scary.

    He already played Bagley fool and Texas don't have the talent around him that Bagley and other teams have. He also went to Sloan Conf TWICE... to LEARN!!! Stop being a hater and do something positive.

    And how Bagley did in that game? Yeah, that's right. I'm not a hater, but calling him an elite defender is over the top.

    So all the draft sites are wrong and you are right. Sounds plausible.

    Can you have your own opinion for once then? He has elite length. That's about it. He would block shot or two, or five per game in NBA just because of that, but he would also pick up 6 fouls in 15 minutes, because his basketball IQ is lower than anyone's in the top10 of this draft. He is just not smart and rely on his God gifts aka length & athleticism. He is no way near elite defender & players like Cousins would torch him all day long.

    I bet some random dude like Olynyk would too.
