A 21-year-old wing prospect with intriguing size and athleticism, crashing the glass hard (80th-pct rebounding, 4.4 boards) and finishing well inside in limited minutes. The jumper isn't there yet — 32.4% from three and a rough 48.6% at the line — but the frame, motor, and price make him a worthwhile long-term project.
