6-9 – Combo Forward – Indiana
Extremely long and athletic forward who impacts the game in a variety of ways.
Pros
Has exceptional length, quickness and overall athleticism. Has great wingspan and hops, allowing him to play above the rim and make a difference in the lane on both ends of the floor.
Crashes the boards well and has a nose for offensive rebounds. Has the potential to be a top level defender, able to guard multiple positions. Has good instincts as a shot blocker.
Developing a nice mid range and outside shot with really smooth and consistent release. Has all of the physical tools to be a star at the next level.
Cons
Needs to continue to work on his back to the basket game and develop a go-to move in the paint.
Can be a bit lackadaisical on the court and will have to play with better energy and intensity to reach his potential.
Projection: 4-9 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft
