34/100
RotationPre-Draft 2026“Had one of the most efficient shooting seasons in NCAA history this year. 100th percentile in both rim shooting percentage and mid-range shooting percentage. Also shot 40 percent from 3. He's just flat out good at basketball. 3:1 A/TO ratio. Takes great care of the ball. Analytically was one of the best players in the country. His top analytical comp was Jalen Brunson. Derrick White was also high on the list. His body type is an oddity. 6 foot 223 lbs. Built somewhere between a RB and LB. Moves decently well, but is solely a below the rim player. Strong. Players bounce off of him. Plays bully ball into short midrange shots. Might be able to guard both 1 and 2 just due to weight. Built like a tank. Actually graded out as a plus defender, despite his lack of athletic tools. There really aren't any comps for his build in the NBA, but he's so good that I think he figures it out and sticks as a rotation guy.”
