Dime Dropper
All-Star
No. He didn't enter the draft last year because he had the stress fracture in his foot. He played well this year, but didn't really improve on his sophomore season. I think the upside for him is questionable, stress fracture injuries are always a red flag for 7 footers, and most of the reason he was ranked as highly as #4 in the first place is media hype owing to his playing three years at Kentucky. Most of the players in the top 10 are one-and-one teenagers. To pick a 22 year old with injury history in the top 10 you really have to believe in his upside. I could be wrong, but I always thought 10-14 is where his actual value is.
That's just not true.
