A jumbo 22-year-old wing-forward with real playmaking chops — 4.5 assists, 14.8 points, and 38.1% from three over 48 games — plus shot-blocking length surprising for his position (81st-percentile rim protection). The turnovers are a problem (10th-percentile ball security), but a 6-foot-8 connector who can shoot, pass, and contest is exactly the kind of versatile piece a rebuild covets.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2024-25 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
