Measured most body fat and was the 2nd heaviest at the combine behind Taco Fall. Yall think him being so thick will pretty much knock him out the draft and back to LSU? His body fat was soooooo much more than anyone else.

I don't think anyone has ever come back to Louisiana to lose weight.

After just taking a trip back home to the Boot for two weeks, that statement hits home as I stare at my distended belly.

No.

It's probably more likely than not that he won't be drafted in the 1st round, but the decision to only spend 1 year at LSU was made before he ever stepped foot on campus. That's not changing. He's not coming back. Also, his vacancy was part of the pitch to sign Watford since, though different builds, they play somewhat the same role.

I’m going to call bullshite on all of those body fat measurements.

The lowest was measured at 2.9% which is unattainable unless you starve yourself which I highly doubt an NBA draft prospect is doing.

He is still developing, and if he can get some strength and put on some decent muscle, esp lower half, he’ll be fine at the next level...

No, but most realize kids that are projected first round picks LEAVE college after one year. We’re talking millions of dollars vs playing for “free” (wink wink but still)

I personally thought Johnny O'Bryant was better and he essentially did nothing in the NBA and he was a better shooter IMO.

Freshman Johnny O was not close to Naz as a freshman. Have to compare apples to apples

This is laughable. O'Bryant shot 27 threes in his three year LSU career, career 62% free throw shooter. He could occasionally hit a midrange jumper, but he wasn't near the shooter Naz is.

Naz might bust, but he had a good freshman season and has an impressive size/athleticism/skill combo. He definitely has a chance to be a good NBA player.

Most mocks have him in the first round. Even if he went early in the 2nd, it’s still a way better deal than returning to fricking LSU that man isn’t playing school

It looks like he still has a lot of baby fat. I wonder if he'll start to get more muscle mass as he gets into his early and mid 20's.

His skillset for a huge man is rare AF. If he focuses on his post moves and rebounding, he'll be a solid NBA player.

I thought the body fat % were crazy too.

Naz at 14% was like twice that of any other combine participant.

I have 15% body fat, and I have a 6 pack.

14% isn't bad at all. Must be a different body fat % calculation or something.

Would be the best decision for him financially, to return and lose some weight/refine his skillset at lsu for another year. Could make himself a top 15 pick, but instead he has gotten bad advice and will go mid second round... if he is lucky early second round, based off of potential alone.
