This guy moves very fast and has defensive and play making upside/ Not too shabby at the three either.

RANK
Poplar is a high-upside swing. He showed an elite first step and decisiveness at the rim. He also proved he can run the PnR when his number is called upon. Good size and solid athleticism, he is a really smart player who will create advantages on the court.
RANK
Scoring Guard:
Wooga Poplar is a shooter with solid athleticism. I could see him as a bench scorer or movement shooter coming off screens in the NBA. He's also sneakily explosive and attacks closeouts well. What will make or break him as a pro is his defense. See seems to defend well enough at the NCAA level and has the tools to be a good point of attack defender. He still needs to improve here to carve out an NBA role.
It would be nice to see him up his 3pt volume. He shoots a lot in the midrange and with his handle and size I doubt that will be his role in the NBA.
