But, if someone takes him 5-10 and he never becomes a consistent scorer they've thrown a chance at an impact player in the dirt. And, it's not a thing you can really predict with certainty, no matter how much info you have. So many variables will play a part. Will he fit in with the team that drafts him? Get along with the coaches and other players? Feel at home and welcome in the city and organization? Will his new team give him the room and support he needs to flourish? I mean, the male brain doesn't even finish developing until around age 25 or so. It's all such a huge gamble.
I'm not sure he is top 4 with the shot making. He does not have the offensive creation upside as the top 3 guys, and he does not have the defensive upside of Wilson. He has the potential to be a really good player, but I don't see superstar upside with him. I think guys like Acuff and Brown have as much upside as him and he has a lot farther to get there.
