From a talent perspective, Purifoy is the most likely to become a NBA lottery pick on this team


I think Austin Wiley is the most likely..

I don't think anybody on out team is good enough to be a lottery pick. Wiley doesn't have the right skill set at 6'11" to ever be even if he develops completely. He's not versatile enough. I see him as eventually a late first rounder, mid 1st round if he ends up dominating in college.

He doesn't move well enough for a big to play tans his skill set isn't nearly dominant enough to offset that

NBA does t go after the classic big men like Wiley as much anymore

I'm saying if Purifoy ever "clicks" his upside is clearly the highest on this team. He def isn't a lotto pick right now that's for sure

Austin Wiley is going to have to develop some type of shot to have a chance. Big guys can shoot in the NBA now and I don't see him being a Andre Drummond or Deandre Jordan type player.

I thought Purifoy should be a step ahead of the other freshmen mentally and I don't even think he's on the same level as most of them. He has a long way to go, IMO. I also thought he'd be able to get to the rim a little better than he's shown. Some of it may be from injury, but I thought he'd be better at getting to the basket.

Not at all.

NBA wants bigs like Anthony Towns, Anthony Davis, Porzingas,

Wiley definitely has a spot in the NBA if he can get more aggressive and learn to rebound. He's definitely not a lottery pick tho.
