STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Lemon projected to finish as rookie-year bust; don't trade for him now.

The source advises against trading for Makai Lemon, projecting him to finish the year as a bust in his rookie season. The source notes that Lemon will be available at a low price next year and that his underwhelming performance reinforces the value of targeting Carnell Tate early in rookie drafts over other receivers in the class.
