The composite 24/7 has him at #23 as the next to last 5*. Listed as 6'11 195lbs there, 6'9 210 lbs elsewhere so I prefer the best of both measures at 6'11 210lbs. His skill set seems at forward rather than center. Overall seems a lot like Grant Nelson from Alabama. I like having that type of player on the roster. Adidas circuit I think

From NBA Draft . com
A highly skilled big forward with a nice all around game. Has handles and play-making ability. Can face-up and take his man off the dribble or shoot it from range. A very good athlete with quickness and leaping ability. Plays above the rim well. Plays both ends. A solid shot blocker who will have to add some strength but has good defensive instincts.

Id settle for 6`10 200. Kid can flat out play. That NBA scouting report is pretty much on point. I think the only reason hes not ranked higher is because hes still on the thin side and he may not be facing the best opposition in Ohio.

Niko Bundalo, On3’s No. 19 overall player, is a skilled and fluid 6-foot-9 forward. He is comfortable handling the ball and is a quick processor, making decisions in the half-court, What has really endeared Bundalo to our scouting eyes is the edge he plays with. With all the skill and fluidity, at his size, he is also very competitive. Positional size and positional fluidity are very important in today’s game. Especially when you package that together with shooting and processing. Bundalo continues to improve his production.

This kid sounds like Flagg (to my inexpert ear). Usually some big differences between being #1 by a lot and maybe top 25.

Clingan was very much underrated out of high school (and combined with improved a lot) to get to being a top pick; part was didn't do showcase team in high school. One of things saw in Flagg videos is he can really move quickly, sounds like this kid has some of that.

new article on him from eurocamp, especially enjoy the bolded part.
  1. Niko Bundalo received an offer from Connecticut on his way to Eurocamp. His arrow was pointing up before he arrived, and it was easy to see the draw during his first game on Saturday, when he scored 14 points with two three-point makes.
    He closed even stronger, leading the World Team with 23 points over USA Select on Monday.
    Bundalo's shooting and face-up skill instantly popped for a 6'9" forward. He knocked down a few pull-ups off hesitation dribbles. He played with swagger, taunting opponents after burying jumpers or recovering down for a block. Coaches will surely admire the edge he plays with.
    Bundalo isn't the most explosive athlete, and he'll need to bulk up his frame, but he clearly has a coveted, modernized skill set for a big. He should become a prospect that every level winds up monitoring.

Hopefully your next AK!
He does look more like 6'9" rather than 6'11", though he could easily grow a couple inches and add some weight.

Sounds as if he may have the Cam Spencer "edge" to his game.

Just from eye test on a few highlights, he isn't nearly the athlete Flagg is. No clue on the age difference, though I imagine they are pretty close in age also.

He`d be a great fit as a stretch 4 in Hurleys system. If this kid puts on 20lbs of muscle with those skills im pretty sure hes one and done. Would not hate seeing him in storrs for a season or two.

Yes, please. Kid will be very good. He looks like a much better version of Samson. The stretch 4 is what I think Hurley envisioned for Samson so this makes sense
