There’s a certain player in the projected middle to late part of the lottery in the 2026 NBA Draft who fits this criteria.
Draft note: functional strength still so important. Height and length are awesome, but have to be strong on both ends as well.
Mitchell Robinson just showed why, the way all of Brunson, Castle, Harper drive and maintain balance too.
Very important!

Debunking Myth: Brayden Burries is Undersized
Standing Peak Reach: higher than Castle, Harper, Booker, Edgecombe & tied w/ Dwyane Wade.
Lane Agility: 91th, close to Wade.
Weight: Highest with 85th.
Burries 63% Blocks from Rim, is more than Edgecombe and hovers Oladipo, Castle.
Burries is a sneaky A Tier Athlete.
Standing Peak Reach = Standing Reach Standing Max Vertical

Interestingly mentioned hopefulness about a system not as tied to record

Sam Presti on Thomas Sorber: "Don't think he'll be ready to go for Summer League,"
"Great feel for the game, can really pass, physical — very excited to get him back out on the floor."
