At hoops summit Boston was measured at 6'4.5" without shoes and a 6'10" wingspan. At UK's pro day, he was 6'5.75" and 6'11.5". He has grown quite a bit the last 18 months. Part of my assessment of him being a probable 3 is that it is likely he gets a little bit bigger than that watching him grow as he has matured. If he grew another inch, we are talking 6'8" in shoes with his skillset. Maybe he lands at a big SG but I think his length makes him interchangeable on the wing. Being Cavs centric, It is easy to envision Boston and Okoro as a 2/3 pair offensively and then Okoro would guard the more physical player on the defensive end.
Awesome. Obviously we have to see them all play and develop but it seems like there are actually a few good wing and combo forward options to be optimistic about.
If we’re in the 3-6 range after the lottery, Cunningham, Jalen Green, and maybe even Mobley will push one of those wing/combo forwards down to us. If we’re in the top3, we’ll have all the same options plus the possibility of going with a transcendent talent like Cunningham regardless of his PG label.
