Luguentz Dort

Draft Notes

A broad-shouldered and powerful guard who should get a lot of run at Arizona State and could be a one and done player. Doesn’t project as an elite NBA player but has a chance to have a very long career in the League.

• Intangibles – focus, intensity, BBIQ and all-out hustle
• Excellent in the open court and can really score in transition
• Has good size on the wing with a plus 4 wingspan and a lot of natural strength
• A good passer who plays with poise, displays excellent court vision and always seems to be one step ahead of the defense
• A stout defender who gives great effort – can guard 2-3 with ease and 1-4 if needed
• A creative scorer who can finish in the lane with all sorts of layups and flip shots, mid range jumpers and up and under moves
• Has very quick feet for a big guard
• Isn’t an elite run/jump athlete and is built more like a fullback than a small forward
• Is very right-hand dominant
• Is a good but not great outside shooter who can struggle to get his own shot off the dribble

Comparisons

• Keith Bogans but with more upside
• In some ways he’s like a much bigger version of Marcus Smart
• Lance Stephenson
