You see his highlights, and I know it's the highlight trap, but he is driving. He's doing dunks from eight feet out. He does the thing that you love from an athleticism standpoint where he can do...

The spin move around the player and immediately jump and do like a distance dunk. That is to me is like what I need to see from athleticism. He's like kind of like late lottery. At this point, the Nets have the 18th pick. I don't know if I'm saying he's like a six-pick worthy. I think he's going to fly up the boards because that athleticism is just so tantalizing.
