Why do you say that?? He looked like a man against boys this season for Dayton. And he can shoot/handle the ball.
His defense is almost Enes Kanter like levels of terri-bad... He gets blown by players who probably wouldn't even sniff the G-League.
He benefits from being a man amongst boys in NCAA, and the way he plays as a bruiser with down low post move skillsets won't translate that well.
Obi Toppin also isn't very good at creating for himself on the ball, which is another issue for older prospects. Rarely do prospects or players suddenly become on-ball threats in their mid 20s after being mainly off-ball guys most of their careers, definitely not something you should bet on.
The reason Edwards, Wiseman, and Ball are all better prospects is because they have far more upside and flash elite skills that would translate in the NBA. Post game is dying out and his 3's may translate, but he really needs to improve his defense, because man it just looks awful.
Any team picking him in the top 10 are going to be wasting it.
