Landers Nolley II

Draft Notes

Landers got off to a very fast start to his college career, showing knockdown shooting ability with a quick stroke during his one year at Virginia Tech. After a stint at Memphis he finished his career at Cincinnati.

He’s not the greatest athlete in terms of agility and vertical explosion but he’s got good feet, good speed and a lot of natural strength. He’s a heady player who uses ball fakes well and knows how to get the defender off balance. He’s a capable driver/ball-handler who shows some creativity with the ball.

His shooting stroke is his main NBA skill at this point. As a senior he knocked down nearly 42% from 3 and certainly looks the part of a NBA level floor spacer.

He’ll have to continue to round out the rest of his offensive game and improve his defense to make it in the NBA.
