Big frame, mobile, great defender but a bit stiff with the dribble. He will not be more than a role player but could be a great one, a good one or just not in the NBA.

NBA comparison : Robert Covington/Guerschon Yabusele

Coming off gold with France's U20 team over the summer, Noah Penda has been productive in Pro A with his consistent shooting and live-dribble passing.

He's at 40.5 percent from three for the year, giving his lineup a shotmaker and floor spacer who passes/moves the ball, finishes plays and makes them defensively.

Only four NCAA freshmen or sophomores can currently match Penda's 15.0+ assist rate, 3.0+ steal rate and 5.0+ block rate, and three are in our projected first round.

The interest in Penda will gradually rise if he continues to hit threes at a consistent rate after he made 9-of-16 at the European Championships. He has a connector-type skill set that could sway scouts to buy role-player potential.
