Summary: Marvin Bagley has the potential to be an offensive superstar, but lacks the overall polish in his game to be the number one overall pick. Personally, I think he has the highest ceiling out of anybody in the draft except Ayton. If Bagley improves on his already good all around game to a great all around game, than we are looking at a future superstar.

Looking at the tape
Here you can see Bagley get the ball down low and just power the defender showing off his elite measurables.
In this clip, you can see how he needs to work overall polish for his game. He lacks the moves here to create space and instead chucks up a wild shot as a result.
