I have watched a full game (skimmed) of Klintman and the u20 highlights. If you watched him at Wake, even in one of his good games, there's no way he stands out from a skill perspective. He barely has the ball at all, and it mostly a stretch big who hangs out in the corner/crashes the glass. That's about it. He's fine I suppose, but nothing jaw dropping from a physical standpoint and definitely not from a skill standpoint. He's long and fairly active though, does have an NBA body. When you watch him with Sweden he's playing point forward and clearly doing different stuff....but I still find that footage underwhelming. Again, not exactly the most athletic guy and for the most part is making very basic passes. The appeal is that he's doing this at 6'10, but IMO there ain't a chance in hell he does this at the NBA level. Like he may be more skilled than an average 6'10 guy in the league (still a maybe), but the idea that he's this super skilled guy does not add up to me.
From a production standpoint.....yeah he's definitely no Tari Eason. He has numbers that might be fine if he was playing in the Euroleague but he was playing for Wake Forrest. His U20 numbers were obviously better, but still not anything earth shattering and that competition is terrible. Even if the production was earth shattering I would have to see a lot more to be convinced than that one U20 B tournament. If he were one of the younger players in the draft I might feel a little differently, but he's already 20. I also reject this "man of mystery" nonsense. He spent year at an elite basketball HS in the states and played in the NCAA. Lauri didn't go to HS in the US and he wasn't a man of mystery. The reason why he's still a man of mystery is bc he hasn't done much. There are zero players who come out of the ACC that should be consider a man of mystery lol. Being on the bench of an ACC team is not the same kind of mystery as a dimly lit overseas gym.
