I don’t know what the hell we are doing. This guy is Jaxson Hayes. Everything he does is lobs and put backs 2 ft from the rim. No creation or spacing ability. No shot to speak of. I hope we plan to move him for someone that doesn’t literally live in Zion’s launchpad.
If our best player didn’t live 2 ft from the rim I might understand this kind of pick.
Shooting isnt the only way bigs create space. There is an obvious need for more size, rebounding, and rim protection. He's also still 19. He's more advanced than Jaxson was at age 19.
He has a relatively short 7'2" wingspan, but he has the feet and vertical to make up for that.
