Big Board Rankings

Strengths

• "Intriguing physical profile at around 6-foot-7 with a reported 7-foot wingspan. Late bloomer physically. Wiry and agile. Light on his feet. Not the most explosive athlete

• but length allows him to finish above the rim in transition."

• "Elite team defender who will immediately help any NBA rotation. He is hyper-alert on rotations

• disrupts opponents’ actions with timely digs

• and deters shooters from firing with fundamental closeouts."

• "Never stops hustling. Even when a play seems over

• he’ll fly out of nowhere for a chase-down block or last-second deflection."

• "Impactful on-ball defender with the right blend of agility and length to defend guards and wings

• though he must get stronger."

• "Good spot-up shooter with a high release and displays awareness moving and cutting off the ball."

• "Tightened his handle to become a potent shooter off the bounce; he hit a single dribble jumper as a freshman and then 39 as a sophomore

• with many of them contested out of the pick-and-roll."

• "Displays high-level passing vision for a wing

• though he’s not a primary ball handler."

• "Long

• rangy defender with great instincts and anticipation"

• "Solid spot-up shooter with range; career 41.7% 3-point shooter in two seasons at Florida State"

• "Energy player who impacts the game on both ends with defense

• rebounding and hustle"

Areas to Improve

• "Feel for the game is a work in progress on both ends. Game moves a little quickly for him at times. Average passer who shows questionable instincts and awareness defensively

• especially guarding pick-and-rolls. Can be foul-prone.How much stronger can he get? Can he defend the NBA''s premier wings

• or is he better off checking a guard?"

• "Lacks burst to beat defenders off the dribble and get to the rim—and even if he gets to the paint

• he struggles to finish against contact."

• "Wiry frame may limit his versatility against larger

• stronger opponents."

• "Not a dynamic shooter off the catch

• though considering his dramatic improvement off the dribble he may develop that ability."

• "Still needs to improve as a shot creator and maker

• particularly off the dribble"

• "Needs to improve his handles; average dribbler but can be predictably right-hand dominant

• making his bland offensive moves easy to defend"

• "Needs to add muscle and size to his frame; didn''t get to the line consistently at FSU and didn''t have the size to challenge bigs as a driver and slasher"
