Karl Towns? Embiid? Anthony Davis?
I keep scratching my head for a comp with him, but there doesn't seem to be a perfect one. Anthony Davis is probably the best one given his skill level, athleticism, and impact on the floor at both ends.
If I'm a GM I have a really hard time passing on Evan at #1. HIs ceiling is obvious, but he may also have the highest floor of anyone at the top of the draft. He's the perfect modern day big - skilled, athletic, and can switch 1-5 defensively, and he is productive as hell. He dominates games without dominating the ball. He's not Jaren Jackson Jr. or one of these other bigs drafted on potential with limited production at the college level.
With experience, strength, and maturity there is zero reason his game should translate smoothly to the NBA level. I'm all in.
