re: First mock draft of 2020 | Pels take...

I think he has some potential, but I didn’t like what I saw when I really dove into him. I think he will go in the 20s.

Do you remember what it was in particular?

All the mocks got him around 15-25. But there haven't been any combines or work outs yet. Dude is going to shine there..

I have him at #17 on my big board of wings and guards, here's my evaluation of him:

Strengths:
-Decent midrange game and solid floater.

-Not a passer that sees plays before they happen, but doesn't take long to register when an opportunity presents itself.

-On ball defense, 6'10 wingspan, good defensive awareness and good athleticism.

-Switchability, will be able to defend multiple positions because of size and lateral quickness.

Weaknesses:
-Lacks versatility on his shot. Can't shoot on the move, good catch and shoot shooter but has to have space. Poor shooter when contested.

-Finished just 37% of his shots at the rim in the halfcourt. Even with his athleticism, does a poor job rising to finish in the paint.

-Poor handle for a wing, doesn't keep ball low and tight, rather than allows ball to get high and loose on dribble drives. Doesn't have much of a dribble drive game aside from straight line drives.

-Inconsistent in his close outs. Prone to close out to quickly and allow driving lanes.

Good call my dude
