I'd still take him in the top 5, but I do think he's a project. He has the athleticism and motor to be great; it'll just take a few years before his skill set is up to speed with what NBA teams want from the 4 spot. Right now he's more of a traditional 4 with the ability to push the beak.Bagley is weird. I expected him to have better touch and better floor game/skill-level... and he is still dominating other potential 5 picks, while being raw. His physical and athletic attributes are off the charts and his motor is very good. He is very coordinated and his balance(proprioception) is good. Something people are sleeping on - the league is moving onto a switching game on D. Bagley will kill smalls. He will absolutely destroy them IMO. He is extremely good at pushing his physical advantages where he has them and he has enough skill to do it vs overmatched players. Now imagine if/when he develops his game a bit... I would love for our development staff to get their hands on him. If Porter/Doncic are not there I wouldn't overthink and I would just draft him...(opinion subject to change if other players catch my eye and/or improve over the season).

Btw, Bagley just dropped 34 and 15 on Texas confirming Saint Cy continues to make terrible takes with confidence.
Yes, because me saying I'm not sure if he is top 3 means I was saying he cant play well in college.
And yes, Texas has Mo Bamba in the middle, but he fouled out and after that Bagley took advantage of a terrible zone anchored by a 6'8 player surrounded by 6'4 and under guards.
When Bagley just focuses on playing around the rim and being a garbage man, he is really good.
I'm just not sold on Bagley's other skills or his defensive IQ/awareness.

regardless of what anybody thinks of him as a prospect, he is the most interesting player in college basketball right now. if there is a must see player, its him.

I don't think i disagree in general with your assessments of Bagley as i am not sold either, but its important to remember he's one of the youngest freshmen we see from season to season.

Yeah, you didn't just say he wasn't worthy of a top 3 pick. You **** on him and wiped your *** with your perspective.

He's my favorite non-top 5 player right now. I need to find some full games of him though... The highlights are titillating. To me he looks similar to Fultz and I loved Fultz pre-draft.
