2768543, Sleeper! Genuine 3-and-D guy. Could sneak into lottery. Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Jun-23-22 10:55 AM
The recipe here is simple.
- He's 6'6 with a 7'2 wingspan and an 8'9 standing reach. He's long and he's strong. - He's an elite shooter. High volume, high efficiency. Might be the best catch-and-shoot shooter in the entire draft. Strong mid-range, great floater. He's got the whole bag. - Good passer and ballhandler. Was recruited as a PG then grew. - Good on-ball defender. Probably switchable 2 through 4.
He's not a typical lottery level athlete, per se, but everything else, he has. I love him immediately after the lottery as a versatile 3-and-D with a little upside due to his playmaking. Could absolutely become an NBA starter-- and worst case scenario, he can shoot 3s off the catch and not be a net negative on defense, so you've got to think he's a rotational player regardless.
