Has a good feel for the game. Gets downhill and creates space very well. Has elite defensive potential and is a solid scorer from anywhere. He is a good athlete as well.

One of my favorites and most underrated prospect. Tall lanky athletic combo guard that is fearless and makes tough shots. Has potential to be an awesome defender and scorer on and off the ball. Shaedon Sharpe. Shades of a taller athletic slightly less smooth Lou Will.

Lanky, athletic combo guard with big potential. It feels like we see a lot of these come and go, but there's something about Pate.
His defense is what makes him stand out to me. Well, not as it is now, but as it could be. Great feel for the game, and playing in the G-League like he is at 18 makes me confident what he's doing is real.
He works a little harder than most "tough shot combo guards". His off-ball game has more purpose, and it gives me reassurance that Pate can find a home in the NBA.
Looks beyond smooth when playing, among the best mid-range shooters in the draft. and only 18
