Stats

Note

I don’t care so much about points, rebounds, or assists per se (eg I’m not doing this for fantasy projections). What I am presenting here are stats that I think are the most relevant to consider with respect to a prospect’s (projected) NBA role. None of these stats are guarantees of future success or necessarily harbingers of certain doom. They are just numbers to put into context with a player’s overall profile.

Noteworthy

  • 2.76% STL%

  • 1.68 A:TO

  • 16.3% DRB%

Caution

  • 50.7% TS

  • 29.4% 3P% (51 3PA)

  • 73.7% FT% (38 FTA)

Scouting

Strengths

  • Athleticism: One of the best athletes in the class, maybe a notch below LaVine?

  • Handle/Burst: Looks pretty good to me! Should be able to create space for a pull-up (assuming he can ever improve the efficiency). Not efficient right now, but has the tools to be a volume shooter, which always has some value in the league.

  • Inside scoring potential: Can get to the rim and finish above it. Could work on touch.

Weaknesses

  • Shooting: Needs some work. Kind of a flat shot that results in a lot of very bricky misses.

  • Role?: Not sure if he’s a primary, a bench scorer, or a starting 2. Would like to see him put on 10-15 pounds of muscle if it’s the latter. His frame looks like it can carry a bit more weight than, say, Haliburton.
