Is going to be a problem in this league, like a major problem.

From an easy top 2 draft pick, to being the last pick of the lottery due to injury concerns (back, etc). What a fucking steal, but it should surprise no one considering how talented and freakishly gifted physically he is.

What's this kids ceiling? Pretty fucking high, if he can stay healthy.

His ceilings is probably embiid, in terms of health.

Very high ceiling. Once he gets more locked in defensively, he'll be borderline elite. Some Nuggets reporters and podcasters are labeling him the next KD. If he continues to trend upward the way he has, I could see it.

I think that might be raising the bar a little too high to start out, but he certainly has the physical tools and skills to mirror his style of game.

6'10'' with a 7' wingspan and a 9' standing reach (which is the same as AD's at his combine), with his athleticism and smooth skill set he could easily be dropping 20 a game next season lol. Most Improved Player award incoming.

Imagine if sixers drafted him and slowly rebuilt instead of going allin on tobias and horford.

No patience

Go back to the draft thread when we passed over him, I was pissed they passed him up.

But lol @ the "slowly rebuild" part when the team has won 50+ games each of the last two seasons and was a game 7 buzzer beater away from beating the eventual champs. Not rebuilding, the time to win is now more than ever before.

It might be a little high, but being 55% from the field and 41% from 3 in, technically, his rookie year... I can definitely see him reaching 20ppg this year if his minutes stay up. He's also a rebound machine lately.

The guy fits great with Jokić, too, so his future is that much brighter, as long as he stays in Denver. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Nuggs do at the trade deadline and whether or not they carve out a spot for him as a starter. Even if they don't, he's elevated the bench a lot lately.
