Draft Notes
A talented scorer from inside and out, Paolo is an elite level prospect who is on a fast track to the NBA.
Has excellent handles and creativity with the ball and can get his shot at will. Has good burst and a quick first step. Scores from 3 levels and has a nice mid range game and smooth pull-up J with a nice release. Likes to operate in the mid-post but can also initiate the offense from up top.
Has lots of natural strength and a low center of gravity. Can play above the rim but isn’t an amazing run/jump athlete.
Comparisons
- stronger Tobias Harris
- faster David West
