Seabron signs two way deal with Pelicans

Seabron averaged 17 points this year without being able to shoot. Think about how difficult that is. He doesn’t have the threat of a catch-and-shoot jumper right now and can’t pull-up anywhere. He’s so talented as a driver that he can derive 17 points per game simply by attacking the cup. That’s why I have him as a top-50 guy in the class. If Seabron ever learns to shoot and is willing to engage defensively, he has substantial upside. He’s too much of a project in both of those capacities for me to give him a guaranteed contract. But he’d be among my first calls as a two-way player, because if he does improve, he has a chance to really succeed at a high level. Seabron will probably kill it in the G League next year and force a team’s hand to see how he’d play in the NBA. It’s all about him. If he’s willing to engage defensively, he probably sticks for a while. If he ever gets to even a reasonable level as a shooter, he might end up being an effective player running a second unit.

Looking at highlights now

6-7 wing. This dude is athletic and looks Kira fast. Good on-ball defender. Attacks the rim with drives. 82% FG. Good cutter. Finished thru contact. Draws contact well bc of speedy drives. Damn he’s fast.

Poor C&S. Westbrick 3 misses. Slow shooting release. Hesitates/aims. Sloppy handles. Undisciplined passes/TOS. Loses man off-ball. Gambles/loses on steals.

Offensively he’ll be fun to watch in the Summer League.
