Did Arizona Wildcats freshman Zeke Nnaji make the right call by declaring for the 2020 NBA Draft? The answer is yes, according to The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie, who has Nnaji ranked 28th on his latest big board (which you should definitely check out).
“Obviously the reasons that he’s a first-round prospect right now, I don’t know that those were really going to change,” Vecenie explained. “He’s 6-11, not terrific length, doesn’t seem to be a great rim protector. He grew up playing a lot of the 4, some at the 5 and doesn’t seem like he’s developed those timing instincts from a young age, which often is the best indicator of future success as a rim protector.
