Height: 6'9
Weight: 230lbs
College: Duke
Draft ratings: C+ B C+ C C A
Strengths:
Great size for a small forward. Big enough to play PF in certain situations. Crafty and intelligent player that understands the game. Possesses good passing skills and is a solid ball handler. May have the ability to handle PG duties from time to time. Good shooter. Can put the ball on the floor and knock down the pull up jumper. Has 3pt range. Solid from the stripe. Has the ability to contribute on the glass. Understands team defense.
Weaknesses:
Limited athleticism. Needs to get stronger. Not much of a leaper. Doesn't have a great first step and may find is difficult to penetrate and create against BBS talent. Will struggle guarding more athletic wings. Doesn't have the strength or skill set to log heavy minutes as a power forward. Good shooter, but not great. Needs to make better use of his size in the post. Solid rebounder but could do more at his size.
Pro-look:
Successful college player that has the skills to contribute right away. His shooting and passing ability should make him a good offensive threat, but his lack of athleticism and quickness limits his overall potential. Defensive liability?
