Omari Spellman

Draft Notes

A big, bruising but surprisingly nimble power forward with a sweet shooting stroke.

Strengths

• Has natural strength and bulk but is still very agile and quick
• Has excellent length with a plus 5 wingspan
• Has developed a solid mid range game
• Shoots the three ball very well and has a protect-able shot
• Has a good feel for finding his shot and spacing the floor
• Does a nice job of using his size to carve out space in the lane and hit the boards
• An above average rebounder who shows good effort on the glass
• Has put in a ton of work to get his body into basketball shape

Weaknesses

• Isn’t a true post player and doesn’t project as much of a back to the basket scorer or rim protector at the next level
• A below average free throw shooter
• Isn’t much of a high riser or above the rim player
• Can he keep the weight off and continue to improve his conditioning?

Comparisons

• A more agile Jared Sullinger
• Mo Speights

late first to mid second round pick
