Poku is the closest combination of attributes but Poku never played anybody before coming over and is made of tissue paper.

I respect your Wolf faith and would be cool if he reaches as high as you think he will. I love him and am super intrigued, but just not quite there yet.
Most of them do. Any PG who playmaking/creating at the level that Wolf is right now is not notable. Yes his height helps him, it helps him produce at the current level which is not that notable amongst other playmakers. It's only notable for his size. If I'm an NBA coach and deciding who to give the ball to and my choice is between Wolf and another PG, it doesn't really matter who is better for their size it's who is better at creating.
I like him, but I think you're over selling him by calling him a game bending player. He adds some ball handling and playmaking with some big man size and traits, could turn out to be a nice and unique player. But being unique is not the same thing as good. Diaw was one of the most unique players in the league at his time, and yet he was still just a good player.
No Celings pod has Tre Johnson 8, with Khaman and Egor Demin ahead of him.
The Demin scout is so intriguing. At some point the talent just falls off and if he's still there it's worth the long-term development swing.
Egor has been *** in conference play, but if you believe he can improve his handle I think he is a good of a bet as any at #7.
Sounds backwards, but he does have two different avenues (shooting and handle) that could really take him to the next level and that could be a reason for optimism.

Salt Lake City is not a small town. All of the teams you mentioned, the Jazz have the best organization. Kid is from Maine. Have you ever been to Maine? Talk about small towns. A main reason a player may consider staying is the NIL they receive. They are not starving students. College is a once in a lifetime experience. Besides, the kid just turned 18 so he is young enough to stay another year. The NBA and the shoe contract will be waiting for him. As a Jazz fan, I hope he doesn't stay and the Jazz win the first pick. However, I can see why an 18 year would want to have another year with his peers. Another bonus for him, is the Jazz have a very young team so he would have guys t hang out with.
Relative to other NBA cities it's a small town.
"He's from a small town so therefore he wont mind SLC" isnt always a great reasoning. A lot of kids from small towns want the big city experience and vice/versa, kids who are from big towns might enjoy the lowkey switch up to SLC (like Favors kind of said about growing up in ATL vs SLC)
One mock had him at 15, so his value has dropped. I have seen him play several times and not once did I think I would draft him with our lottery pick. I think staying in school another year would be beneficial to him considering how poorly he has played.
Wolf reminds me of a Plumlee brother. Not sure which one but he does.
I could see that. I was drooling over him after the first few games because that player could be so valuable. If you think you can develop that after a reasonable amount of time then it's a no brainer.
