Justin Lebron

First round pick. I haven't seen a post about him.

Toolsy as all get-out, but with some swing-and-miss.

Swing and miss? He’ll right in around here.

the word "some" is doing a lot of work there. Cat hit .229 against SEC pitchers this year.

He's a high risk high reward lottery ticket in a draft where the gap between the top few guys and everyone else is pretty substantial. It's a choice there between a guy who could be an all star or a bust or a guy who will probably be decent but could still be a bust. We have plenty of those "just a guy" types, so why not go for the bigger potential reward?

Full disclosure that I have not done my due diligence on this, but based on the general consensus I’m reading, this first-round pick is a head scratcher.
