Naturally fits guards and "bad big defenders" — bigs who rebound and score but don't protect the rim. Commit to the perimeter (and a few non-blocking forwards): you'll dominate 3PM, AST, STL, PTS, and FT%. BLK is nearly impossible to contest without a true rim-protector anyway, so stop trying.

Stays #1 overall — BLK (0.82/g) is his only weak cat, and it's not even severe. You don't really "punt" anything by drafting him; you just accept that BLK is the one category he won't single-handedly carry.
