Speaking of his best scenario on the most recent edition of the Hoop Collective podcast, NBA writers Royce Young and Andrew Hand, said he could be the next Scottie Pippen.

Andrew Han claimed.
He rebounds, he defends. He just turned 20 and he is already a pretty good defender. We’re slotting these rookies into some really big shoes.
Pippen, 52, who won six NBA titles with Chicago Bulls retired in 2004. Pippen played alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls during the 1990s.
Pippen is considered as one of the greatest defensive players of all time, retiring as the NBA's all-time leader in defense. Pippen has made eight All-NBA Defensive First Team.
