The Skinny:
Despite just one year of college experience, this forward plays like a seasoned veteran. He has a terrific feel for the game, making a lot of smart plays at both ends of the floor to make up for his athleticism being a little below that of other forwards. He’s a good athlete who won’t wow observers, but he can handle and pass the ball better than the average small forward and is a capable shooter. His solid skills and winning style of play are his biggest assets and the prime reason he should go high in the lottery.
