Talent is only part of the equation - he's certainly good enough (and big and strong and fast) enough to be an NBA player. But that's only part of the equation - you need an opportunity and an NBA front office that believes in you too. Unfortunately talent alone isn't enough - see Ty Wallace and Ivan Rabb's struggles going up and down to the G-League.
The 3 point shooting, the decent ball skills and the wingspan would be good - but 2021 is a deep and talented class. He's not on a lot of draft big boards (or any)
And yet Ty and Ivan were on draft lists before the draft. I'm saying it's not about his talent - there's about 500 other players who are good enough to be in the NBA and who are not. And it has nothing to do with talent. Fringe NBA players need to have a front office person (scout, general manager, coach, assistant coach) to fall in love with them and their game and go to bat for them.
