I'll be interested to see what his measurements end up being including his weight. Getting a guy that has the length of a PF/C that is multidimensional sounds really good right now as there are a lot of guys like that right now. I'll be interested in seeing how Draft Express breaks down his college game.
I am curious why he is not being projected higher. Just comparing this class to last years shows how this class is much deeper. Dunn would have had no shot of making the lottery in this group.
I think the problem with last year's class was the top younger players were less ready than other classes. I thought the class was more OK but had nice upside guys for quite a few picks but yeah.
From what I can gather it's a combination of things of why Isaac isn't higher. Of course who knows he might go up when workouts etc happen.
1. He has solid handles but doesn't show amazing ability to beat guys off the dribble and first step so that limits his upside as a franchise type player.
2. Skinny
3. Lots of talent in this draft and especially in his case a few wings to pick from so that muddies the water a bit.
4. He is pretty raw as he used to be a 6'3" guy a couple years ago and where exactly will he play? Is he a wing or a PF? Other guys are likely seen as more of a sure thing. I guess his team was really talented so he wasn't asked to be a top player. He was a 5th year HS player he could have gone to the draft last year and it was said he would have been a 1st round pick.
