The conclusion of the shooting tier, with the worst one out of the lot. He doesn’t have one distinction besides doing everything at a meh level. Not the release of Bollack, but it’s not terrible. Not the athleticism of Wieskamp or the potential creation of Juzang, but it’s fine. Feels like the lowest ceiling, but he should be able to contribute in one way or another.
Comparison: Omri Casspi
Ceiling: Luke Babbit with + athleticism Floor: Anthony Morrow lite

Sam Hauser can be a nice 3&D swingman. He''s 6-8, 225 lb. and can shoot the ball and possesses some creation skills. He may not possess the ideal physical tools and can struggle to defend quicker players, but his frame can allow him to slide to 4 with some intriguing length as well! Was the main scoring option at Virginia, and may be able to score when needed.
Projected draft range: 50-undrafted
RANK
6''8 with a 7 foot wingspan. One of the most advanced shooters in this class. 40%+ 3pt shooting ever year, 45% this year. 50%+ 2pt FG% every year, 58% this year. 80%+ FT% every year, 86% this year. Grabs around 8 rebounds per 40. Excellent C&S coming off screens and spotting up. Can quickly got off his shot, ball doesn''t dip too low. Not going to turnover the ball, but also not going to get to the charity stripe. Decent passer with nice awareness. Handles are fairly fluid for size. Defensively may be a liability on the perimeter against guards, but his foot speed could be much worse. Interior defense could be a mismatch against stronger post up guys, but he isn''t necessarily weak.
RANK
Positives
-Arguably the best shooter in the draft, can hit them off movement, relocations, off the catch, deep....
-Solid at posting up against smaller players, could be a weapon after a pick and pop gets switched
-Uses angles and his body well to finish at the rim, has soft touch and is pretty crafty despite athletic limitations
Negatives
-Just really not an NBA athlete, obvious with his first step and vertically, likes to play slow and patient because he has no other choice
-Question if he can defend anybody in the NBA, laterally very slow and not particularly long, probably will get hunted
