Watching Luwawu-Cabarrot play is energizing to the fans. On one hand, he plays with an intensity born from the passion in the stands.  On the other hand, he rises to the competition, seemingly improving and getting stronger with each play.  In summary, he shows no fear.

He fell in the draft due to the inability to guarantee his upside.  The talent was there, the athleticism was there. But any NBA team needed patience to develop that upside.  The Philadelphia 76ers selected him, and then gave him time to grow naturally.
