Pros:

• insane burst and coordination at 6’9”, 210

• good defender when he wants to be; great fast-break/recovery defender

• initiates contact and wins physical battle vs most + great body control

• super quick off the catch + great core strength; unusual in filled out 6’9”+ players

• 3-level scorer who can hit insanely tough shots from anywhere

• best iso player AND best fast break player in the class; will be extremely valuable in playoff/clutch situations

Cons:

• questionable shot selection; takes a lot of poor quality middies when he could get to the rim

• slow decision maker when trapped/doubled; lacks offensive fluidity and tends to be a ball-stopper

• doesn’t drive left terribly often and lacks many counters to the right hand drive

• sometimes loses focus on defense

C: MVP

F: fringe all-star

An elite, 6'9" wing with star potential due to his fluid athleticism, scoring versatility, and playmaking flashes. He is a dynamic three-level scorer who plays with confidence and already possesses advanced footwork for his age. To reach his ceiling, he needs to improve his outside shooting consistency and maintain a more selective shot diet.

• Floor: Bench

• Maybe the best shot maker in the draft

• Very explosive

• Super smooth game

• Most complete offensive game in the draft

• Defense can be streaky against good competition

• Need to lower his assist to turnover ratio

• Should improve shot selection

• If his defense and playmaking become more consistent, he will be easily the best player in the draft

• Amazing athletic profile, perfect combination of height, length, quickness, and leaping ability

• Expectation: Hall of Fame; He cements himself as a reliable do it all wing on the offensive side of the ball that holds his own defensively

General Notes:

• Bend + Length is insane and makes for some jaw dropping plays

• Awesome driver and handle creation

• Shot form is really good

• Just an elite bag and offensive skillet but the playmaking reads need to improve with how many advantages he creates for others

• Defensively it's more a focus and motor issue. Just focus on staying attached and maintaining position because the talent is there to be a plus defender.

makes it look so easy

great shooter, so much upside

NEEDS to clean up handle

erratic shots but can hit them

amazing ahtlete downhill and above the rim

1 in most drafts

Primary Shot Creator Wing

(Jayson Tatum)

• Mid-range scoring, pro ready counters, athleticism

• Defensive Lapses

Blueprint as shot creator, has a deep bag of pro moves already but the outside shot needs to improve. Is in attack mode and looks to get to the rim, makes patient moves and is rarely taking ill advised shots, despite high USG. Still a streaky FT shooter. Passing is fine, not a weakness but far from a strength. Has the ability to make the pass and processes simple ones a tick slow. Legit defensive attention and rotation concerns. Runs around a lot, but finds himself out of position or losing a man and frequently misses box outs while ball watching. But has all the physical tools to be good.

Strengths: Great Scorer, Great Defender, Great Transition Player, Great Footwork, Great Finishing, Plays like a tall physical guard, Athletic Freak,

Weaknesses: Could struggle in slower set plays, Not the Greatest playmaker, Shot selection, 3pt shooting,

Draft Range/1-4, Role/2 way wing, Ceiling/HOF, Floor/All Star, Expected/Super Star, Position/GF,
