From what little I've watched this is the first time since Lebron that I felt this sort of comparison on an athletic level was legit (when Kerr made it last month or whatever). Unibrow came close. The kid has a 285 pound body that he moves effortlessly in the same fashion Lebron did as a 240 pound high school senior. Same supremacy of body control. He spins, cuts, sprints, and explodes like the elite NBA athletes who are 50-60 pounds lighter: like he's in a different gravity. He's a cut above.
He's a very good ballhandler, with great footwork, but he's not as prodigious as Lebron was when it comes to skills, and especially intangibles; more like a Blake Griffin. Lebron had the vision, instincts, ball handling, fundamental footwork, and court awareness of the best NBA players when he was still at Akron.
285 is probably too much weight for a 6'7" frame in basketball at the professional level (even in PED-era 2018) with their grueling schedules. That's a recipe for an abbreviated career. There's a reason Lebron deliberately dropped weight. I also agree that the NBA is no longer a league ripe for domination due to sheer size & athletic dominance. It's a shooter's game, now. Also, he's damn quick for a man his size in the college game, but I'm not sure if he'll be quick enough to play his current style in the NBA.
Is that the leaf child spawned of the predictable disappointment produced by Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins?
