SF - HT: 6’7” -

- A winner. Good all around power wing.
- Shoots well, defends well, can do a little bit more
- Offensive rebounding machine
- Does too much from the low post, tries to post up a ton and that’s just not where he’s going to be effective in the NBA
- Great presence on the court, seems like a mature and beloved vet
- Minimal star upside but could be a super solid role player
- Shades of PJ Washington, Royce O’Neal, Josh Hart

GSW position : SF, PF

Highs: steady shooter (even when someone is coming at them), moves good with out the ball, potential to be a nice defense presence all the time, can go inside as well (has pretty good footwork), can make a jump shot very well (openly), hustler (rebounding), you can pass it in the middles and he can make the shot, he can back you down and make a fadeaway or get in the lane, aggressive in the lane for offensive rebounds for second chance opportunities to a shooter or putting it back in, defensive rebounds is mastering where it will be bad is very good at boxing and fights even against longer players, he’s a good passer in the middle with a cutter coming down, can pass to open 3 point shooters (uses his awareness), a nice passer for an inbound play, he would fit in our system, can stay in front of players and guard, can block a player going for a lay up left and right of the body

Lows: free throws, his 3 pointer can be better, when his opener is staying straight up he can’t finish that well he will have to use more footwork at the next level and pass more to get easier looks, when he is backing down a player that is standing straight he tends to over pass at times when it is time to pass or becomes an offensive foul

Comparação: O'Neale, Hart, Jalen Williams.

STRENGTHS:

• Strong defensive wing on the perimeter who will do a great job of playing guards and wings; will be explosive in chasing after the ball and will mirror his opponent's movements. His 7 foot wingspan helps on that end, too

• An impressive live dribble passer who can throw darts cross court and throw accurate passes with one hand; will be expected to execute passes like that often and showed he can do that during his entire collegiate career

• A technically sound rebounder who knows how to box out and time his entrances to the paint to secure the board; averaged nearly nine rebounds a game as a 6'5" wing

• An improved shooter during last season; 39% on five attempts per game

WEAKNESSES:

• Not a very good finisher at the rim; only made half of his attempts there last season

• Is not a great shot creator and is usually set up well to get his points; some of that is due to his athletic limitations, but can settle for some heavily contested looks that he should not be shooting

• Never really had that great of touch on the inside, and it makes me question if the shooting from beyond the arc is real

Best role upon entering the NBA: A feisty on-ball perimeter defensive wing who will rebound and operate as a passer from the elbow and a screener

Pro Comparison: Grant Williams

• Feel For the Game

• Positional Versatility

• Rebounding

++Strengths:++

1. Playmaker who plays like a veteran with fluidity and velocity in their passes

2. Dramatically improved shooter after transferring (40% from 3 in UNC)

3. Crashes the boards with strong timing coming in from the perimeter and boxes out

4. Projects as a highly versatile defender who can switch against quick guards or lengthy and strong guards

5. Plays with strong effort and consistency defensively off-ball where he flies around, helps at the rim, and takes charges

++Weaknesses:++

1. Only shoots about 60% from the free-throw line

2. Struggles creating space off the dribble which forces him to take heavily contested shots from the midrange and at the rim

3. Before this season was a below par 3 point shooter and lacks natural touch
