They dig into his offensive game, including rare mobility and shooting touch for his size, flashes of pick-and-pop range, and the tools of a modern stretch big. They also cover his raw, still-unrefined defense and the boom-or-bust questions that come with his game.

Corey Tulaba and Albert go back and completely redraft the legendary 2003 NBA Draft class with 20+ years of hindsight. The big shakeup: Dwyane Wade slides to No. 2 overall to the Detroit Pistons, while Mo Williams and Boris Diaw both crack the top 10 based on their long, productive careers. Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison also earn top-10 redraft slots as steady, winning role players get their due. The guys debate how much career longevity, All-Star seasons, and team fit should matter versus draft-night hype, and revisit where the rest of this loaded 2003 class — one of the deepest in NBA history — should have...
