roles early in their careers, and many never do.

Any team that drafts Jontay will do so based on what they expect him to contribute two or three or four years into the future (and beyond), not how much he'll give them in his first year vs. what other rookies will give.

Even with his injuries, he's still a 6-10+ kid who can shoot threes and pass. Those are rare skills at this size, and he doesn't necessarily need great athleticism to be successful that way.

Any team would be a little crazy to draft him ahead of a healthy player who can contribute a lot from day one and will continue to get better, but most rookies will not fall into that category.
