A teenage, ultra-athletic forward with a massive frame and tantalizing defensive tools, taken as a long-term swing. At 19 with no NBA sample to rate, he's a developmental project — all upside and runway, years away from his finished form.

No qualifying 2025-26 NBA stats yet — an NBA rating populates once he logs a full season.

FAIR VALUEpaid about what he is worth

Market value is an estimate, not a reported figure: what his play is forecast to fetch on the open market in 2026-27 — his current rating, a year older. Cap thresholds are projected for 2026-27 until the league sets them.
