I'm not saying he will make it or not, but his physical tools give him a shot. To be shocked about a kid that big and strong making the NBA seems silly. I do agree he is not an NBA player now.

Caleb reminds me of Zach in terms of his pro potential

I'd be shocked if Caleb is an NBA player

He definitely shows signs that he could be a force in two or three years.

Agree. And I was pretty confident that Mika would find a spot in the league.

Mika would have had a shot if he hadn't gone on a mission

I always thought if Sabonis could do it then Mika probably could too.

Even Sabonis has taken time to really assert himself

He will need to work on being a consistent shooter

I disagree. I think Caleb could play in the league. Especially if he improves...

Back the basket? That's the last thing he needs to worry about for the NBA.

JuicyJam

Even in today’s NBA, he’d need to have some strong moves in the paint.

At his size, he'd be nearly worthless if he can't put his bulk to good use in

Ball handling & his off-the-dribble shooting mechanics, too.

So would I be shocked. I do think he’ll be all conference a couple of years.

I agree that it's brutally difficult to make the NBA, but

I get what you're saying to a point. But, we don't really know if he's a NBA

Yep, way too early to tell. Compare Lohner to Zaga's Suggs (an NBA talent) and

I agree that Lohner will not be a top 2 pick in the NBA draft

kimdaddy35

2/19/21 12:01pm

Right. Time will tell. There's nice potential there. Lohner's a talent.

How about to Freshman Kispert?

Not a bad comp

Thats a good comp we will see if Kispert makes it in the NBA I doubt it but mayb

Um he’s def making it - projected top 20 pick.

If Caleb can learn to shoot like Kispert, getting to the league is a real

NBA is just so different than the NFL. They identify the top picks early and

Blueto

That's a good point. I will root extra hard for Lohner to go from unknown to

Makes sense to bet on and be patient with the high-upside guys

To realize his potential, he has to be a wing

Don't do it. Don't predict caleb will get injured like zach and struggle for two
