Who do you see Hotton being like if he can reach his peak? Rozee maybe?The easy answer is any of the athletic KPF's like Gerreyn, Whitlock x2 and Armstrong, but digging deeper I'd say Tom Gross and Taj Hotton are two that represent this in a less traditional sense.
For Gross, he's got an unreal contested game and fairly good defensive drive, and his skills, whilst not perfect, are pretty goof around the ground, and they way he attacks the footy when resting forward gives off a Toby Greene aura, if whoever picks him up can iron out his kicking for goal they'll have a seriously good player on their hands.
For Hotton, obviously there's now an element of unknown given he missed the Champs, and ACL rehab can be complicated, but he's blitzed the pre season athletic testing and had top 5 prospect form prior to doing his knee, if the athleticism sticks around and a club works on his use by foot he could be anything as a small forward.
