The 6’6” 190 lbs freshman 2-guard from Minnesota will be just shy of 19 years old on draft night. He has a slick jumper with a quick, high release. He can pull up or catch & shoot, plus he showed flashes of movement shooting, and connected on 39.4% on relatively high volume from 3 (10.6 per 100 possessions). Also notable was his 37.3% on contested 3s.
Other than his shooting prowess, he’s good at putting the ball on the floor to attack closeouts & score inside but needs to put on strength to improve his finishing, however, he’s also a good passer and understands how to use his gravity as a shooter to create advantages for his teammates.
He’s not a flashy defensive playmaker, but he is still strong fundamentally, has positional size with a 6’8” wingspan, and is smart on that end of the court so he should at least be a neutral defender.
Could this be a guy we draft at #44, develop him at RGV for a year and then bring him into the fold in 2025?
