Melvin Council Jr.

Draft Notes

Melvin is a talented on-the-ball guard who loves to operate with the ball in his hands and look to score the rock. He’s not always the most efficient player and can be a high volume shooter but he’s got scoring talent and can really but the ball in the basket.

He’s a wiry and thin player who plays with better strength than you’d expect from such a thin/wiry player.

He shows some really nice flashes but would have to really improve his shooting and efficiency to play at the NBA level.
