Adou Thiero

Draft Notes

Thiero is a powerful wing/combo forward who has awesome physical tools and has been on a nice upward trajectory over the past few years, becoming a more complete player and contributing on both ends of the floor.

He’s a standout defender, rebounder and energy player who does all the dirty work and plays within his role. He’s got elite athletic tools and will be able to hold is own physically at the NBA level from day one. He’s an awesome above the rim player and a good play finisher.

Attacks the glass on both ends and is one of the better rebounding wings in the class.

He’s not yet a very good 3pt shooter but shows some promise and there’s a chance he develops into a solid floor spacer. He is good from the FT line and his shot definitely isn’t broken.

Although his game is still unrefined he’s got the type of tools and upside that will be intriguing to NBA teams.
