Once thought of as a fringy defensive prospect, KBD’s stock has skyrocketed with a dramatic improvement in offensive utility. The three-point shot has come around for the 6’7″ forward, making a decent 35.8 percent of his deep balls on a hefty 5.1 attempts per game, and he’s shown the ability to get his own shot off against college defenders. Throw in a bonkers wingspan (reported to be 7’4″) and shot-blocking instincts (1.7 per game), and you’ve got the makings of an intriguing prospect, albeit an old one at 22.
