7 footer with a 7'4" wingspan. Skinny. Athletic. Seems to have a promising jumpshot. A top 5 player in the 2023 class. But my question really boils down to... can he defend the 4 spot?
As we look towards the possibility of losing Ingram to the draft, I wonder who we could get to replace him. I know that playing the 4 is defensively a challenge when you never know from game to game if you'll have to guard a Manek, an Ingram, a Banchero, or a Flagg. You need to be able to navigate all the obstacles around the perimeter.
I see the major mutual interest between UNC and Bradshaw, but to me he seems awfully thin to try and replace Bacot at the 5. Could our staff be looking at him as a faceup 4? Not as someone who would battle Washington/Wolf for center minutes?
