Big Board Rankings

Strengths

• "Major lob target in the half court and in transition. He’s unselfish and runs the floor

• and executes off-ball plays in the half court to get open."

• "Good spot-up shooter

• though he needs to show more dynamic ability by shooting off of movement."

• "Excellent rebounder for a player of his size

• largely thanks to his hops."

• "High potential as an on-ball defender against guards with his quickness and athleticism

• though his fundamentals must improve."

• "Super-leaper with freakish athleticism

• capable of producing highlight reel dunks and blocks; broke Zion Williamson''s max vertical leap record at Duke"

• "Versatile

• switchy defender who can guard every backcourt spot due to his length

• energy and size"

• "Good positional size and role player potential: has the makings of a 3-and-D type guard who can make an impact in low usage"

Areas to Improve

• "Tunnel vision is a problem on offense: Too often

• he’ll catch the ball

• aimlessly dribble

• and take a tough shot instead of making an easy pass."

• "Struggles to execute the simple play

• whether it’s an entry pass to the post or a bounce pass to a cutter breaking toward the rim."

• "Loose handle

• which prevents him from creating much separation on drives or pull-ups."

• "Lack of length and size limits his defensive effectiveness against larger scorers."

• "Ball-watches far too often on defense

• which puts him out of position to recover and make a play."

• "Older for his class; will be 21 by the time the draft takes place"

• "Struggles as a decision-maker with the ball in his hands; negative assist/turnover ratio at Duke"

• "Not a creator due to his unpolished handle; incapable right now of carving out space to generate his own offense"
