I've Moved This Basketball Playing Elephant To The Top Of My Draft Board

Sometimes you see a prospect and within seconds you realize you’re watching something different. Something you’ve never seen before. The next wave, the future of basketball. Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Magic & Bird, Jordan, Duncan, LeBron, this elephant. He’s the total package. If you were building the perfect basketball player in a lab, this is what you’d come up with. Passing, height, range on his jumper, thick skin, ability to store water in his trunk, post defense like you read about, screen setting off the charts, straight line speed and power that would make Giannis look like Muggsy Bogues. I’d like to see more tape on his dribbling, but I’m willing to overlook that with everything else he’s got in his arsenal.
