He doesn't have upside. He lacks the ball skills to be a forward and he lacks the size to be a big. If he could rebound, box out, and set screens at a consistently high level he could possibly be a useful player despite his offensive ineptitude. But he can't. What’s absurd is thinking a mobile 6’”10 player who displays energy, intelligence, and both the ability and desire to defend multiple positions has “no upside”. When he’s 27, you might be shocked to see he’s as good as Darrell Arthur was at that age. Another good comp to Zeke, IMO. Or maybe he will always be hurt or in some coach’s doghouse and never get there. But he has upside to be better than he’s been THIS season. He'll be out of the league after this contract.

Saved for 2029 if you’re still around here to show this didn’t age well.

Thank god for our bold new strategy of "draft a guy and then wait nine years for him to become a replacement level player" He will be better than replacement level as soon as this year. You said with totally arrogant certitude that he will be out of league after this contract. That’s what I’ve saved to show a classic myopic post didn’t age well that was written in 2024 at the nadir of this guy’s career arc.
