Another prospect who will get look @32

Pascal Siakam. 22 y/o. 6'10, 230 Sophomore out of New Mexico St by way of Cameroon. Can play 4 but can be a 5 in the the current NBA. Long wingspan (7'3) with 8'11 standing reach. Solid post defender adept at blocking shots and can play perimeter D relatively well despite not being asked to in college (has shown this in combine). High motor guy, feel still developing for game since hasn't been playing it long. Good rim runner, and developing 15-17 foot jump shot (form doesn't look bad in videos and highlights). Could play 5-10 minutes a game at backup center to start career if need be.

Fits Mitch and Jimmy's Modus operandi of players they try to grab in late 1st/ 2nd from past few years. Still has 'upside' as game still developing.

Nylon Calculus also has him as their 38th best draft prospect based off their own advanced stats projection model to determine career success
