Sometimes you really have to admire why the players born on this mysterious continent of Africa always have physical talent that is different from ordinary people.
Chol Marial from South Sudan first stepped into the NBA scouting scene from a 2015 live-action video, which quickly became the focus of the united states.

That's when the problem arises.
Chol Marial of the class of 2019, why hasn't he entered the NBA in 2021?
There are not many reasons, mainly injuries.
After transferring to IMG College in high school, Chol Marial suffered stress fractures in the foot bones, tibia, and leg at different times, and was unable to complete the recovery, and then the national ranking plummeted, and his status fell from the initial five-star high school student to a four-star high school student, and finally chose to join the University of Maryland.
What are Chol Marial's NBA prospects?
At present, the draft website does not give the corresponding pick prediction, and Di ge personally believes that he can try to sign him with the end of the first round.
As for the reason, the first is that the talent is indeed high, and there is the potential to become a defensive center in a healthy state.
Second, next year belongs to the draft small year, and there are only a few high-quality players.
Although Chol Marial has the attributes of a glass man, if he can guarantee his health, he actually has the ability to rank in the top five.
Just like when the Nuggets signed Porter Jr. with the lottery, the bet was right, and the pot was full.
If you lose the bet, you won't lose much.
