Yes. I tend to agree but just pointing out having a 6’9”

Guy who basically can play 4 positions is a good thing Now his defense doesn’t necessarily mean he could play 1-4 vs anyone but his good outweighs his bad.

Looks like he's got the yips right now to me. Tentative on most shots.**
marcbvtgm • 01/23/26 04:38 PM ET
Yep, it's all mental. He can really hit them if he's focused. Right now, he

GCHokie34 • 01/23/26 02:16 PM ET

Is it possible with slower than expected development that it might take him
