ARCHETYPE/POTENTIAL ROLE
A stretch big with really good size but isn’t non mobile with his movements in the necessary actions. He is a much older prospect but that might turn into a positive for some of the better teams in the league looking for a player to come in and provide immediate impact. His absolute elite skill is going to have to be his ability to stretch the floor from the “5” position. Only attempted 75 3-point attempts through his first three years of college but has been over 40% the last two seasons on double the attempts. Should be a good screen setter with the effort he gives and his size. Wish I was able to buy his passing a little bit more but if he can do that out of DHO’s and from the top of the key after a pick-and-pop it makes him an even more interesting offensive prospect. Defensively, he is not going to be some sort of an anchor but he should be able to hold up with his size and movement ability. Think he could find himself being more impactful if he was simply more active with his hands and use of his length.
