BenchPre-Draft 2026“Updating his score upward after watching the NBA combine scrimmages. Was very impressed with how he played. Was just always in the right spot, and had great touch in the short to mid-range on his shot. Made an array of floaters. Came away thinking that he just flat out knows how to play basketball. Even took a couple Kareem-esque hook shots. Wouldn't be shocked if he finds a way to stick on the end of a bench as a glue guy who just knows how to play. The athletic limitations and lack of 3 pt shooting are still there though.”

BenchPre-Draft 2026“He's undersized for an NBA PF at 6'7", and isn't a great athlete either. Below the rim guy. Moves decently laterally, but by no means has elite burst. Very unique playstyle. Has one of the best floaters that I've ever seen. A ton of his points were off floaters, and he was comfortable shooting it out to about 16 feet. Hartenstein-esque, and maybe even a bit better. Capable of knocking down the three as well, but to me the shot doesn't pass the eye test mechanically as one that would be a major plus attribute for him in the NBA. Because of the athletic limitations, he graded out as a negative defender, and the eye test supports that. Think he would be picked on by guards, wings, and big. Offensively, I don't see a role that he fills. Could be very dangerous with his floater in the short roll, but to me he doesn't have the size that you'd want out of a typical screener in the NBA. Would be much more intrigued if he was 6'10+, since he'd fit an archetype as a screen setter who can be effective in both the short roll and pick and pop. Don't see an obvious NBA role, and don't see him sticking in the league.”
