Despite struggling against better competition, Sekou Doumbouya remains an intriguing long-term prospect that should generate top-10 hype. He’s an elite athlete at 6-foot-8, with the size and mobility needed to defend across the positional spectrum.

In a league that’s becoming so reliant on versatility, Doumbouya’s ability to switch four or five positions has tremendous value. He’s also 17, the youngest player on this draft board. Even with offensive shortcomings, there’s ample time to grow and evolve.

Doumbouya has shown some shot-making potential in the past, although his handles and isolation chops are largely underdeveloped. He thrives in transition, through, where his physical tools shine. The upside earns him a spot in the lottery.
