Work ethic is probably the worst trait to lack in any profession.

He's not raw, he's weak (physically and to a lesser degree mentally).
He may never reach even 70% of his potential.
I do think he has the most upside but I also have been on record that he doesn't reach anything close to it.
I don't think he'll be big and strong enough to play the 5 defensively for a while, unless it's one of these run-n-gun line-ups. He looks like he'll be one of these Dwight Powell/Patrick O'Bryant PFs who plays pick and roll/pop on offense and guards 4s on defense.
I don't think that Marquese Chriss is necessarily a safer pick than Skal. They're both still figuring out how they'll play at the next level. The difference is that Skal had high expectations he didn't live up to and Chriss had almost no expectations. Now people are looking at Chriss and seeing the potential. But they're both pretty raw prospects who need to show more toughness, rebounding and motor overall. Either one could end up being the better player.

The difference is Chriss didn't suck *** in college.

I like Chriss, but he didn't always defend or rebound the ball. He wasn't highly featured in the offense. Skal was more disappointing, but he had a few nice games toward the end of the season.

Good. Let someone else slip.
Who do you have in mind?

Anyone but Skai. Murray, Hield, Poeltl, Bender, Dunn, Brown.
If Skai goes top 7-8, someone is slipping either to us or within range (9 or down) for us to maybe move up without giving up a King's Ransom.
I can't see most of those falling(maybe {Poeltl and Hield being the most likely). You know I like Skal most of all, but I wouldn't mind any of those at 12.

Doesn't matter. No matter what, one of them would fall. Simmons, Ingram, Skai, Murray, Hield, Poeltl, Bender, Dunn, and Brown are nine guys.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't read your whole post and get its' intended message before posting that.
I've been checking out Deytona Davis footage. He also has a workout vid on DX now. He's not that quick. He takes time to gather himself, his reactions are fairly average and he doesn't cover space that well. I think he's about half the prospect that Poeltl is. I'll be surprised and disappointed if he's the pick. I'd rather pick a wing.
I think Henry Ellenson is likely to fall out of the top 10, assuming he was ever there to begin with.
If Poeltl and Skal are off the board, I would probably go for a wing who can really shoot the furkan ball.

I never thought he'd be top 10. I wouldn't be disappointed with him at 12.
Somebody compared him to Lyles and when you think about it, their body types are different but their skillsets are very similar.
Ellenson is too redundant with Lyles to take him IMO and he is a clear BPA over people who should be available at 12.
Ellenson is 7ft tall. He can play the center. Gobert could probably use less playing time. However, if some furkan guy is available at 12 tough call.
