I am at the point where I am no longer banking on him being on the team next year. There is literally a 100% chance that he can play for money somewhere next season. He has differentiating attributes that will allow him to play at a semi-pro to pro level immediately if that is what he wants to do: 1) his lateral agility is bonkers good for a guy his size, 2) his vertical quickness is bonkers good for a guy his size, and 3) he ALWAYS keeps the ball high on the catch. He doesn't need a dribble or two to get himself set. This is a HUGE asset and extremely difficult to teach. His catch-and-react is already pro level. He doesn't waste time with a tempo or rhythm dribble, it's straight to the basket as soon as he catches.

Number 1 priority for next year needs to be to set him up with NIL to combat the overtures from agents that are probably already being made. We need to re-recuit him a la UCLA/Johny Juzang after last year's tourney and load up his NIL payout.

[I know that people will immediately chime in with the "he needs to get stronger!" mantra, but i believe this is 100% overblown. With his frame and wide shoulders scouts will be looking at him as where he can be physically in 2-3 years, not where he is physically now.]
