Flyers Eye Russian Center With Pro-Ready Frame at No. 21

The Flyers are staring at No. 21 with a classic draft dilemma - chase upside, or grab the center who already looks built for the grind. This Russian pivot has the kind of pro body that gets scouts leaning forward, because teams know bigger centers can age like expensive wine if the hands and instincts come along. Philadelphia has a habit of making its lottery and late-first choices part of a longer conversation, and this one sounds like it could linger right up to the pick.
