Take a gander at this mix! footage was scarce of him during the season this is a few days old. Chris Mullin compared him to Marcus Camby.

Why do people like Jarrett Allen ahead of Patton?

By huge, you mean wingspan? Patton looks more coordinated and versatile to me.

Edit: I'm going to stop using the word 'versatile.' Lets just say that Patton would do better on the balance test.

I get that John Collins has less wingspan, but he's another guy who is markedly more smooth and skilled than Allen.

So Allen's 6'11", 224 lbs (if that's current) is better than Patton's 7'0" 226 lbs?

PG_AB kinda sold me on Chimezie Metu. I wish he'd enter the draft. I like him better than Skal, and I liked Skal last year at #12.

If OG Anunoby falls, I'm on board (pending medical clearance). Ike Anigbogu doesn't have to do much to have an impact in the league. He can just stay healthy and be a rich man's Festus Ezeli worst case.

I'm okay with Leaf/Lydon, Kennard, DJ Wilson (who I think might be a more athletic and fluid Trey Lyles, which says what I don't know), and one of these athletic 6'4" 2-guards who can shoot in the 2nd round.

Metu would showcase well in Utah. his footspeed and ability to cover ground would seem like something added to the equation. He's every bit as explosive as Bolomboy but far more nimble and 3years younger.

It's not set in stone yet. Jarrett Allen is almost a full year younger.

The reasons why people like Jarrett Allen can be summed up in just a few plays. Him grabbing boards. blocking shots and doing things like this

Because he's better at basketball and more explosive athletically than Patton - than just about any big in the draft. Both have tremendous potential.

Collins is the most offensively skilled big in the draft.
