A scout's first take on ADP will be:
At 7'3 with no offensive game he has to protect the rim and rebound consistently, which he does not do. If he wants to make a living playing basketball he needs to develop an intense passion for the game and dedicate himself to building his body and developing his skills. That is easier said than done.
If ADP grew up in a Euro country with a strong developmental system he would have been drilled on footwork and developing his offensive skills from the day someone noticed his height to age ratio was off the charts.
There are lots of 6'10 to 7'2 guys in Europe with far better offensive games than we see here in college players. However in the NBA the physical demands often chew those guys up and wash them out.
The NBA is a no longer a big man's league and a space eating guy like mark eaton has very little value in today's nba. If you can't guard the pick and roll and you cant rebound consistently then you can't play in today's NBA.
