Draft 2026
“Tier 5”
“PHYSICAL - Is quick with and without the ball, has decent speed for a wing - Has decent to good strength for a wing, average for a big wing SKILLS - Handles the ball well for a big wing - Fights for O boards, good motor - Is very fluid, playstyle kind of like current LeBron (wide base) - Is a tick slow to decide on offense - Rolls and pops ok SHOOTING - Has a fluid three stroke with decent to high release - Is a stationary and movement shooter FINISHING - Strong finisher through contact, might not fully translate due to careless finishing, but shows motor and confidence - Can play above the rim decently - Drives well in a straight line PASSING - Doesn't like or can't pass with one hand - Does hit cutters on all angles - Has solid vision and all passing mechanics - Genuinely a good processor - Can pass from anywhere on the floor - Pocket passing is not as developed yet - Makes up for lost time in passing with both hands by immediately finding open shooters and cutters DEFENSE - A bit slow to react - Doesn't use his athleticism as much - Hard to tell because of ISU's pressure if he will be able to defend in other schemes - Seems to not have the best footwork - Doesn't always have the cutoff angles ISU wants”
