I am not a fan. I watch his videos and wonder whether he'll be able to do half of what he does in France against quicker stronger NBA defenders.

I'm growing concerned with his three point shooting going off a cliff. He wasn't a good shooter prior to this year, which calls into question if his early success this year was an aberration.
Shooting was his best skillset, so if that's potentially off the table I don't think he brings enough to warrant a top pick.

I feel like he probably isn't a star but more so a Trey Murphy type who is 6-9 and can bomb 8 threes per game from the 2/3 position.
At the end of the day he is still one of the youngest players in the draft and probably has a case to be playing in the toughest league out of anyone in this draft.

His ceiling is probably Porter Jr.
Drift on the perimeter and bomb 3's.
The issue is he isn't that good a shooter.

French league is more advanced then the schedule Kansas played this year.
Also, doesn't include Risacher playing in Eurocup for 18 games where his numbers are even better.

If he’s an elite shooter run to the podium.
If he’s not you sit on your hands and go Holland.
The question is whether he’s an elite shooter (as the early season barrage and consistent 2-3 makes per game indicated) or a mid one (as the slump, underlying FT numbers in the low 70s, and general shooting history) indicates.
He has little juice off the dribble, but does seem to do movement shooting well and can play a similar role to Keegan Murray. I’m not enamored with his defense but it’s fine. He doesn’t excite me, he’s a middle of the fairway type pick, but that might be enough in this draft.
