Tahaad Pettiford is a versatile offensive weapon for the Auburn Tigers. He is one of the best 3pt shooters in this class, and he is a great finisher. He has a great layup package filled with acrobatic finishes and dunks. His passing is unremarkable, and his defense is lackluster. His size is a big concern, as it will limit his defensive potential.

Comp: Cameron Payne.

Pros:

• insanely good tough shot maker; elite 3pt shot versatility

• great handle; controls pace well

• extremely quick

• great decision maker off ball screen actions/handoffs

• high defensive motor; pesky

Cons:

• lack of size and length; huntable defensively

• poor shot diet; has trouble creating seperation and most often his shots look forced

• prone to ball stopping

C: elite sixth man

F: lives off of two-way contracts
