I think it's fine.I absolutely think there’s a lot of untapped potential with his jumper and offense in general. Maybe it’s just me, but he does seem to lack touch close to the basket if it’s not a dunk, but I’m not sure how much that will matter at the next level if he can become a respectable corner jump shooter, which I think he will be in time.
One underrated aspect of his game is how hard he rolls. I've mentioned that before, but between that, his offensive rebounding, and being a constant lob threat, he's able to manufacturer a good amount of dunks. Sam Vecenie mentioned that he doesn't finish well on layups, but to me it's pointless to distinguish between layups and dunks. He's finishing just fine on dunks, and they're the vast majority of his shot diet.
The fact that he's able to function well in an offense with two other "bigs" and limited spacing tells me that he should thrive in the much more open lane of the NBA.
