Big Board Rankings

Strengths

• "Knockdown shooter who hit 40 percent of his 3s and 90 percent of his free throws in two seasons at Kentucky. He has a lightning-quick release off the catch."

• "Excellent shooting off screens by creating separation through deceptive

• change-of-pace moves."

• "Potent off the dribble. With a speedy first step

• he’s easily able to create space for one- or two-dribble pull-up jumpers."

• "Team player who swings the ball. He’s not a primary ball handler

• but he understands his role and plays it well."

• "Undersized

• but has a 6-foot-10 wingspan that made him into an elite defender in college; in the NBA

• he projects as a plus defender

• at minimum."

• "Competes on both ends. He rebounds well for a smaller guy and he’ll battle against bigger players. He accepted his role at Kentucky and excelled."

• "Solid 3-point shooter"

• "Rebounds well for size"

• "Automatic free-throw shooter"

Areas to Improve

• "Poor finisher at the rim; he lacks verticality

• an off hand

• and a sense for using touch."

• "Lacks playmaking chops; he’s a reactive passer

• not a creator. And though he can handle

• he’s not breaking down NBA defenders."

• "Despite his length

• he still lacks pure size and strength

• which will limit his versatility against bigger wings and as an impact off-ball defender."

• "Unproven as a facilitator"

• "Inefficient 2-point scorer"

• "Size disadvantage guarding big wings"
