Draft Notes
Kugel has emerged as a NBA Draft prospect. The 6-5 shooting guard wasn’t the highest recruit but quickly put himself on the draft radar with his play at Florida, before transferring to Mississippi State.
He’s got solid size for the position and decent athleticism. He can be a streaky shooter and scorer with natural scoring instincts but will need to get more consistent.
