It's going to interesting to see just how good Skal really is playing for the Cats this season.
Labissiere's stock really exploded during the spring, when both Rivals and Scout.com moved him atop their recruiting ranks ahead of Simmons. The fact that Labissiere has gradually expanded and sharpened his game naturally suggests he'll continue to grow and develop.
His case for the No. 1 overall pick revolves around game-changing potential at each end of the floor. If he hits his stride, the team that drafts him could be adding an offensive centerpiece and defensive anchor.
With 7'0" size, good hands and bounce, Labissiere has terrific physical tools for both a power forward and center—two positions his skill set ultimately covers.
It's highlighted by shooting touch and shot-making ability from the high post to mid-range area, where he can rise up for a jumper or shake and bake into a fallaway. Labissiere has a notably high release that's difficult to contest.
With the ability to face up and score in the 12- to 20-foot-range range, it's easy to envision Labissiere's shot selection looking similar to LaMarcus Aldridge's by the time he's peaked.
