Reminds me of Dante Exum.

From what little I've seen of him, he intrigues me. He looks like a guy who will be a better pro than a college player.

Your pros/cons just goes in my idea behind "defensive potential".
When I read that about a player, I think "Not good". Why? Because "defensive potential" means you're trying to find him an other positive points, but "bad defender" isn't one.
When I read "defensive potential", that means the guys isn't that much of a good defender. But you try to find him a good point (and maybe he has the lateral movement, the physical abilities to be one, but when you have everything and don't use, it's that you don't care, and if you don't care about defense, you rarely become a good defender)

Got to the basket at will today against Kansas. Even with Wiggins on him. Drew 20 free throws today.

No one has been able to keep him from getting to the basket all year. The only way teams have slowed him from getting there is by going to a zone defense.

24 points on 5-11 shooting, 9 assists, and 5 rebounds today.

He's said he will test the waters this year. Not sure if he stays in the draft. It's hard to get a feel on where he will go in the draft.

Highlights of 2nd game here. I like the potential here and I think he is getting to play against better competition than in college.

I'm not a fan of his

He has the template you'd want in today's game: Size and athleticism and handles to impose his will on offense and recover on defense as a rookie. Thing is though, he's so raw that I honestly think the city would eat him alive. I hope I'm wrong, but even with his upside you only take him if you're going to be very patient with him.

He's extremely raw, his time in China didn't help that assumption as he still had trouble finishing through contact and over size in a league that plays no defense and allows scoring high numbers.

And he also got injured. Probably won't return back there and will return to the states NOT going to college and preparing for the draft.

He got little to no development at all this year and will be the rawest prospect in the top 5.

^^^ He's out for the season? If so I see him falling out of the top 5

I think Mudiay will be a star. I like his combination of size, athleticism, speed, and ball handling for a PG. He's so good at creating his own shot and getting into the paint, he makes it seem effortless.
