What is Zeke Nnaji's upside as an NBA prospect?

The Denver Nuggets took Zeke Nnaji with the 22nd pick in the 2020 NBA draft, a spot that can be 50-50 for finding NBA-level talent. But that is for regular NBA executives. Denver has Tim Connelly, a guy with a reputation for finding value late in the draft. In Nnaji, Tim has a prospect who can shoot on offense, move his feet on the perimeter, and rebound on both ends of the court. Most of all, he seems like a high-character guy who is willing to put in the hard work required to make it in the NBA.
