Overall
Despite his age, I think he is a sure fire 1st round pick in the 2027 NBA draft, with the potential of jumping into the lottery if he improves his shooting splits this season. I think he can be effective in the NBA if utilized properly, as I see him having an impact similar to PJ Tucker or Matisse Thybulle. He hasn't lived up to the initial hype/expectations since coming from Barcelona, due to the deep talent on Duke's roster, but he is an overall intriguing prospect due to his switchability on defense, and potential as a two-way player.
