When he put it on the floor in the post it was an automatic turnover. That’s troubling for those considering whom to draft.

He hasn’t been viewed as a sure fire 1st round pick for months, so I don’t know how that projection is surprising...

What is going on

Lacks lower body strength. Naz needs a couple years on the squats to get stronger legs. He has the body and the skills to excel in the NBA, just needs leg strength.

Naz has zero game with his back turned to the basket.

What's the deadline for coming back? If he won't be drafted, why not come back for another year at LSU?

NAZ was in very few 1st round mock drafts. He is 47 thru 60

By far and away, most consensus 5 star guys out of high school are pretty much first round locks. It’s been this way for a while now.

For a big man, he looked better at the arc than he did down low. He didn't have any low post moves, and often got the ball stolen when trying to dribble down low.

I think he stopped going to class. Would be a problem if he wants to come back. Not 100% sure he did, but saw it on here a few times.

Who does?

Gasol, Durant, LBJ (not in playoffs), Horford, AD? Who else among playoff teams has a post game. Maybe Jokic? Giannis doesn't. No Warriors, no Trailblazers. It's a dying art in today's NBA game.

I dont think that's the issue. His strength probably is. His handle. His effort too. But, ultimately, I think it's just the evaluation of older, more experienced college players pushing him down.

I have as good of a shot as he does for getting drafted in the first round
