Grading Every NBA Team’s Draft Night
From Deandre Ayton to Kostas Antetokounmpo, the 2018 NBA Draft is in the books, so it’s time to give each team a grade on their draft night.
Atlanta Hawks: C+
The 2018–19 Hawks might be fun, as the team looks to be building a budget version of the Warriors. This movie reboot stars Trae Young as Stephen Curry, Kevin Huerter as Klay Thompson, and Omari Spellman as Draymond Green. It is evident from the Hawks draft night that they value shooting more than almost anything else. Reports indicate that the Hawks were very high on Trae Young, and so the move to drop two spots in the draft and add a future first round pick while still getting the player they wanted was savvy. It seems clear that they will hand the keys to this team to Trae Young, sidelining or trading Dennis Schroeder. I still have some concerns about Young’s decision-making (See: Shorts in the above picture), but for a Hawks team that doesn’t expect to be good anytime soon, Young will at least provide some excitement. The Hawks second pick of the night, Kevin Huerter from Maryland, is another knockdown shooter to play alongside Young. Huerter will need to get stronger to be an NBA-level defender, but he plays hard and shoots well, which should see him stick around as a role player in the league at the very least. The Hawks final pick of the first round, Omari Spellman, reminds some scouts of Boris Diaw or Draymond Green. Spellman clearly needs to continue developing his body to play at an NBA level, but at Villanova he showed he can be a winner and that he’s more than capable of doing the little things. Spellman is by no means a defender near the level of Draymond Green, but he’s still an intelligent defender with a long wingspan that allows him to block shots and the strength to bang with big men. One area where Spellman already excels is shooting, as he shot 43.3% from three this season at Villanova. The Hawks flipped their second round pick to Charlotte for two future second rounders to finish off their draft night. All things taken into consideration, the Hawks had a decent draft night, but it’s impossible to avoid wondering whether they’ll look back on this as the draft where they traded away Luka Doncic.
Boston Celtics: A-
The Celtics only had one pick in the 2018 draft, but they made it count. Robert Williams slipped all the way to the 27th pick, despite the fact that he was projected as a lottery talent. Williams is an explosive athlete with a 7'5" wingspan who is capable of switching onto guards on defense in a pinch due to his quickness. Williams fell in the draft because teams were worried about off the court issues, but the Celtics and coach Brad Stevens have the system and infrastructure to help develop Williams’s immense talent and athleticism. Boston has lacked elite frontcourt athleticism and shot blocking ability ever since Kevin Garnett was traded away. Williams, who was played out of position at power forward in a two-big system at Texas A&M, projects as a player who can help the Celtics defeat their Kryptonite: Tristan Thompson. The Celtics get an A- from me because of the value-for-talent they got at the 27th pick without making any moves.
Brooklyn Nets: C
I would be lying if I told you I knew much of anything about either of the Nets draft picks this year: Dzanan Musa and Rodions Kurucs. Musa seems to be an unpolished scoring wing, and Kurucs appears to be a draft-and-stash player on the wing who could make the NBA some day. The biggest win for the Nets is that they’re no longer conveying their first round draft picks from the abhorrent trade with the Celtics so long ago. Next year they’ll own their own first round pick, and will be free to make that lottery selection. Overall, this draft gets a C for the Nets because I was unimpressed by any of their moves.
Charlotte Hornets: B
The Hornets ended draft night with 3 new players: Miles Bridges, Devonte’ Graham, and Arnoldas Kulboka. Charlotte GM Mitch Kupchak took Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with the 11th pick, then traded him to the Clippers for the 12th pick, Miles Bridges, and 2 future 2nd round picks. Later in the night, Kupchak flipped those two second rounders to the Hawks for the 34th pick, Devonte’ Graham. They needed help on the wing and at point guard, and they filled both needs. Bridges isn’t a player who will fix the Hornets on his own, but as an elite athlete with a good three point stroke, he’ll fit next to any player the Hornets sign, draft, or trade for in the years to come. Devonte’ Graham’s floor is as an effective NBA backup point guard who plays tough defense and shoots well for years to come. While he is already 23 years old and has less upside than other guards in the draft, Graham comes as a ready-made player who will handle valuable minutes. With the 55th pick, Arnoldas Kulboka seems to be a gamble on a player who still needs to improve his body before he’s ready for the NBA. The Hornets had a decent draft night and picked up two players who should be on their roster for years to come.
Chicago Bulls: C
This was one of the toughest grades to give in the entire draft. I really like Wendell Carter Jr., but I still have a lot of concerns about his fit alongside Lauri Markannen in the modern NBA. Carter is nimble enough to handle spot duty on wings or guards in a pinch, but if opponents go small they can play one of the two off the court. With their second first-rounder, Boise State’s Chandler Hutchinson should be an effective 3-and-D starter. If the Carter-Markannen frontcourt shows that it can work, then this grade should be bumped up to a B, but if not, the Bulls will likely need to decide which player to keep, or which player should be minimized to bench role.
Cleveland Cavaliers: C+
Collin Sexton was the Cavaliers only pick in this draft, and I have a lot of questions about his fit next to LeBron. Sexton is a ball-dominating point guard with an alpha dog mentality, which makes him a good fit for a Cleveland team post-LeBron, but if LeBron stays it makes a lot more sense to trade Sexton to add a more proven off-ball player next to James. Sexton is a good player, but the Cavs case to bring LeBron back centers around improving his supporting cast, and I’m not sure how much Sexton does that.
Dallas Mavericks: A
I think Luka Doncic was the best player in the draft, so by drafting him the Mavericks automatically get a high grade. To move up two spots to pick him, the Mavs only had to give up one future first round pick, which is top-5 protected for the next two years, then top-3 protected for two more. Expect that pick to convey to the Hawks next year, because this Mavericks team might push for the playoffs. Owner Mark Cuban has indicated that he wants the team to be competitive next season, and reports have hinted that Dallas will pursue Clint Capela and DeMarcus Cousins this summer. Rick Carlisle, one of the better coaches in the NBA, will love what he has in Doncic. Carlisle’s offense frequently utilizes two point guards, with last year’s draft pick Dennis Smith Jr. frequently playing alongside Yogi Ferrell or J.J. Barea. Replace Barea and Ferrell with Doncic and 2nd round pick Jalen Brunson, and this Dallas backcourt will be really good. Wesley Matthews and Harrison Barnes are serviceable starting wings, and adding a center in free agency should at least boost this Mavericks team into the late lottery. With two second round picks, the Mavericks got Ray Spalding, a big man from Louisville who should be a backup center next season, and Kostas Antetokounmpo, a long athlete who is extremely raw. It was an excellent draft night for the Mavericks, and I’m excited to see what they do next season.
Denver Nuggets: A-
The Nuggets, much like the Celtics, capitalized by drafting a player who slid to them for reasons other than talent. Obviously, Michael Porter Jr.’s back injury and new hip injury are concerning, otherwise teams wouldn’t have passed on the preseason projected top-3 pick. For the Nuggets to get a player of Porter’s talents at 14 is a steal. Denver only missed the playoffs by one game in the 2017–18 season, so they really don’t need anything from Porter this season — they may even sit him out the whole year to recover. If Porter does manage to overcome his injuries and reach his potential, he’ll be the type of scorer that will have us looking back on him as the steal of this year’s draft. Porter is a knockdown shooter on the wing, but still needs to improve his handle a little more to reach his true offensive potential. The Nuggets flipped a second round pick next year to the Magic for the rights to take Jarred Vanderbilt, another player who could be a steal. While he suffered multiple foot injuries in high school and had surgery while at Kentucky, Vanderbilt was ESPN’s 19th ranked recruit before the season. Vanderbilt might be the most versatile defender in the draft, possessing all of the physical tools (length, speed, frame) to become a 4 or 5 position defender in the NBA. Vanderbilt is also a really good rebounder, averaging more rebounds per 40 minutes (18.5) than any of the big men taken in the top 10. Vanderbilt’s biggest flaw is his shooting, which is abysmal. However, if all of the injuries work out, it’s not hard to imagine the Nuggets starting a frontcourt of Porter, Vanderbilt, and Jokic, with Vanderbilt handling the toughest defensive matchup and catching lobs, Jokic playmaking from the top of the key, and Porter draining shots from all over the court. With their final pick of the draft, the Nuggets picked up Thomas Welsh, a 7-foot center with three point range and double-double averages in his senior year, who needs to get both stronger and more agile if he is to handle the NBA game. The Nuggets are a team built to contend for the playoffs for the near future, so it makes sense for them to gamble on lottery talents with injury risks who could push their team to even greater heights.
Detroit Pistons: C+
The Pistons, who gave their first round pick to the Clippers in the Blake Griffin trade, walk away from the draft with confidence they’ll have filled at least one hole: guard defense. The Pistons gave up a future second round pick, and ended up with Khyri Thomas and Bruce Brown, both of whom are excellent defenders. Where they differ is that Thomas provides three point shooting, whereas Brown is a rebounder and potentially a playmaker. Two guards, and two solid players, the Pistons should be happy with what they took away from this draft.
Golden State Warriors: B-
Jacob Evans is a solid 3-and-D athlete who will help soak up regular season minutes for the Warriors off the bench. While he isn’t an elite athlete, Evans is a smart, high-effort defender who does all the little things necessary to win. A capable spot-up shooter, Evans shot 37% from three this season in college at Cincinatti. With Patrick McCaw a restricted free agent and Nick Young an unrestricted free agent, Evans should be able to fill a chunk of those players’ minutes.
Houston Rockets: B-
The Rockets used two second round picks to draft De’Anthony Melton and Vince Edwards. Melton, a guard whose strongest skill is his defense, lacks a capable jumper. Edwards, on the other hand, is a wing with the physical tools to develop as a defender if he becomes more focused. Edwards shoots the ball well off the catch and was a capable scorer in college. The Rockets may choose not to sign Trevor Ariza, who is an unrestriced free agent, and Vince Edwards could help fill some of those minutes. Much like their competitors in the bay area, the Rockets did a good job of finding role players who will fit alongside their stars.
Indiana Pacers: C
With Aaron Holiday in the first round and Alize Johnson in the second, the Pacers had a rather conservative draft. Holiday’s lack of size and elite athleticism puts a cap on his potential as an NBA point guard. That said, Holiday’s shooting, at-rim finishing, and effort on defense will keep him in the league as a respectable backup point guard at the least. Johnson is a high effort rebounder and defender at the power forward position, but it seems unlikely he becomes an NBA starter.
Los Angeles Clippers: C+
The Clippers added two guards, Shea Gilgeous-Alexander and Jerome Robinson, in this years draft. But, in order to get SGA they had to trade two second round picks to the Hornets to move up one spot. In theory though, an SGA and Robinson backcourt actually makes a lot of sense. SGA is 6'6" with a 6'11" wingspan and all of the defensive skill to handle the more demanding guard matchup. Meanwhile, the 6'5" Robinson can focus on carrying the scoring load on offense, both on and off the ball. Gilgeous-Alexander’s playmaking skills are still a work in progress, but if he develops into a better playmaker, he should be able to play well with Robinson. However, these picks are puzzling as the Clippers backcourt already has Milos Teodosic, Patrick Beverly, Austin Rivers, Louis Williams, Jawun Evans, and Sindarius Thornwell. It seems likely that the Clippers will seek to move at least a couple of these guards in trades before the end of the summer. Hopefully the Clippers figure out their backcourt plan moving forwards, but for now the guard positions are a bit crowded.
Los Angeles Lakers: D
Mo Wagner and Sviatosav Mykhailiuk. This was an odd draft from the Lakers. Both players are 21 years old and good perimeter shooters, but neither seems to be the type of athlete or defender that will succeed in the NBA, and neither has the type of upside you would want a young team to draft. Maybe the Lakers will sign LeBron this summer, and Wagner will fill a Kevin Love role while Mykhailiuk will fill the Kyle Korver role. I doubt either player is capable of that, and I don’t think either player will be more than a bench player in their career. I might be proven wrong, but for now, the Lakers had one of the most disappointing drafts.
Memphis Grizzlies: B-
Jaren Jackson Jr. was the best player available at the fourth pick, but I have some concerns about his fit in Memphis. Members of the Grizzlies front office and ownership have stated that the Grizzlies wish to contend for the playoffs next season, and with Mike Conley back from injury and Marc Gasol still on the roster they could do just that. But I hope they don’t think Jackson is a starting contributor to that. Despite starting at the 4 in college, with his combination of height, shot blocking, and interior defense, Jaren Jackson Jr. is an NBA center. If Memphis makes the mistake of playing him alongside Gasol for many minutes, they may risk stunting Jackson’s growth. They ought to use Jackson and Gasol to split the 48 minutes at center, maybe reducing Gasol’s minutes down from the 33 he played per game last year. In the second round, the Grizzlies picked up Jevon Carter, a point guard from West Virginia whose best asset is his defense. Carter doesn’t have the length or size to guard more than one position, and his age limits his upside, but the Grizzlies have found a solid backup point guard to play behind Mike Conley.
Miami Heat: N/A
The Heat made no draft picks or trades.
Milwaukee Bucks: B
Donte DiVincenzo will be a perfect fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo for the Bucks. While DiVincenzo has shown some potential playmaking ability, he’ll be placed in a position in Milwaukee where he can focus on shooting and scoring, his biggest strengths, while Giannis handles much of the playmaking load. At the least, in DiVincenzo the Bucks have found a likely spark plug scorer who could be used off the bench as a sixth man. If DiVincenzo continues to develop on defense and playmaking, they may have found the perfect secondary ball handling point guard to play next to Giannis.
Minnesota Timberwolves: B+
Threes and Defense. Between Karl-Anthony Towns, Jimmy Butler, Andrew Wiggins, and Jeff Teague, Minnesota has their starting bunch as figured out as it’s going to get for the near future. Minnesota’s supporting cast, on the other hand, seems stuck in the NBA’s dark ages: Taj Gibson, Gorgui Dieng, Nemanja Bjelica, and formerly Jamal Crawford and Derrick Rose. The modern NBA role player’s two most vital skills are the ability to shoot and the ability to defend. The Timberwolves drafted two players who should be able to do both in Josh Okogie and Keita Bates-Diop. Okogie, a first round pick out of Georgia Tech, stands 6'4" with a 7'0" wingspan. Between defensive versatility, above average rebounding for his position, intelligent off-ball offense, and a solid jumper (38% from three last season), Okogie will survive in the NBA as a role player, even if he is never able to develop as an on-ball scorer or creator. Bates-Diop fell deeper into the second round than I expected, likely due to a lack of elite athleticism and potentially concern over a leg surgery in 2017. A solid shooter who should improve more with time, the Ohio State forward is capable of doing the little things that every role player needs to do. At 6'8" with a 7'3" wingspan, Bates-Diop is capable of defending multiple positions, however he sometimes lacks the quickness to handle guards and the strength and toughness to defend bigs. In Okogie in Bates-Diop, the Timberwolves have found two solid role players in the 3-and-D mold who will fit perfectly alongside their young stars.
New Orleans Pelicans: C+
E’Twaun Moore played 31.5 minutes per game for the Pelicans last season. It seems to me that a playoff team shouldn’t be starting a guard like Moore. The Pelicans only had one pick, late in the second round, so they took a shot on Tony Carr, a point guard with size that resembles a two guard, who scored at an elite level in college at Penn State. Carr is by no means a sure thing, but if he develops well, he could be an effective scorer from the backcourt in New Orleans.
New York Knicks: B
Kevin Knox and Mitchell Robinson are both solid picks for a franchise like the Knicks, in need of anything that can help them build around Kristaps Porzingis. Knox, who is not yet 19, has the athleticism and scoring ability to become a star, but he needs to figure out some parts of his game still. Watching Knox at Kentucky he showed his scoring savvy, but he often settled for deep mid-range jumpers, a habit he needs to work to break. Furthermore, he needs to lock-in as a defender; he has all of the physical traits to be a shut down defender, but the effort is often lacking. Robinson, on the other hand, is one big question mark. A five star recruit who signed to play at Western Kentucky, Robinson decided before the season started that he would skip college to prepare for the draft. Robinson has all the physical tools, reminding some scouts of DeAndre Jordan, but he must show that he has developed his feel for the game, defense, and screening ability before he can become an effective NBA big. The potential is there, but Robinson is clearly still raw.
Oklahoma City Thunder: B
When Andre Roberson went down with an injury, the Thunder’s entire team suffered. Their defense got worse, Paul George was asked to carry more of the defensive load, and his offense suffered as a result. With only second round picks, the Thunder picked up two players who could play in a Roberson-like role, and another player who is a scoring forward that projects as a project. Hamidou Diallo and Devon Hall are both capable defenders, but they have different flaws. Diallo projects as more similar to Roberson, as he’s already a very good defender with size (6'6" with a 6'11" wingspan) and athleticism. However, Diallo is a poor shooter from both the field and the free throw line, and his form is in serious need of improvement. Hall, on the other hand, is a good defender, but lacks Diallo’s elite athleticism to offer the shut down defense upside. What Hall does provide is excellent spot-up three point shooting (43.2% last year at Virginia) and a high basketball IQ. The other player the Thunder drafted is UT-Arlington’s Kevin Hervey, a 20 points per game scoring forward. Hervey is often out of control, and he needs to slow the game down before he can play at the NBA level. Hervey also has had ACL surgery on both knees which is concerning. Hervey plays hard and will work hard, but he has to improve both as a defender and as a decision maker.
Orlando Magic: C+
I like Mo Bamba a lot, I really do. But I am incredibly worried about him going to Orlando. The Magic have no shot creators, and the only point guard on their roster is D.J. Augustin. Jonathan Isaac, Mo Bamba, and Aaron Gordon create an interesting frontcourt assuming they re-sign Gordon, but the Magic also have Nikola Vucevic and Bismack Biyombo under contract as well. Everything about Orlando’s roster construction confuses me. The Magic also drafted Justin Jackson, a potential versatile defender with a long wingspan who is coming off of an injury. The positive news is that in Melvin Frazier, the Magic have a player who may actually already be a capable shooter, something only Evan Fournier can claim of players on their roster. The players the Magic ended up with are all solid, but their roster still lacks the playmaking necessary for these draft picks to thrive.
Philadelphia 76ers: A-
Somehow, the team without a GM had one of the best draft nights of any team in the league. While the 76ers initially drafted Mikal Bridges, they ended up trading him to Phoenix for Zhaire Smith and an unprotected 2021 Miami first round pick. Then, late in the first round the 76ers drafted Landry Shamet, traded one of their second round picks to Detroit for two future second round picks, drafted a draft-and-stash player in Isaac Bonga, and finished the night by drafting Shake Milton. Despite standing only 6'4", Zhaire Smith played in a sort of power forward role for Texas A&M this season due to his elite explosiveness and athleticism paired with his good rebounding ability. Smith is an NBA-ready athlete capable of throwing down highlight reel dunks, and he’s a good versatile defender with a 6'9" wingspan that helps make up for his lack of height. If one had to assign an NBA position to Smith, he’s probably a small forward, but on offense playing alongside Ben Simmons, Smith will focus on cutting, screening, and catching lobs. Smith shot 45% from three in college but only attempted around 1 per game, and has weird mechanics, so he’ll have to prove he’s a capable three point shooter at the NBA level to reach his ceiling. The Sixers’s second pick, Landry Shamet, a point guard from Wichita State with knockdown shooting ability, should help them replace Marco Belinelli and/or J.J. Redick if they choose not to re-sign either of them. Despite playing point guard in college, most scouts think Shamet is better suited to a secondary playmaking role, which should be exactly how Philadelphia uses him. Shamet has had foot injuries in the past, isn’t an elite athlete, and is too lean to defend bigger players, but he is 6'5" and plays hard which combined with his shooting (44.2% from three this season) should keep him on the floor. The 76ers likely took Isaac Bonga so they could draft-and-stash him to save cap room rather than having to pay another second round pick, but he’s still a solid prospect. Bonga is 6'9" with a 6'11" wingspan, but he’s too lean for the NBA right now, and according to scouts needs to further develop his jump shot, improve his confidence and aggressiveness, and cut down on his turnovers. If he reaches the heights of his potential he could be a Kyle Anderson-type player. Finally, SMU guard Shake Milton is a versatile defender (6'5" with a 6'11" wingspan) with catch-and-shoot ability who will fit well into the Sixers rotation.
Phoenix Suns: B+
For the first time in a while, the picture of the Suns lineup of the future and the team they’re attempting to build is starting to come into focus. On paper, their roster makes a lot of sense and their draft picks all fill holes. With the number 1 overall pick, the Suns drafted DeAndre Ayton, who will be their franchise center of the future. Ayton needs to improve defensively to truly be the anchor of a defense, but maybe having Tyson Chandler as his mentor on the Suns will help him develop on that side of the ball. Ayton has one of the best bodies in the draft and he’ll be ready to play day 1. Next, with Mikal Bridges the Suns have a polished 3-and-D wing who is a proven winner. He’ll help round out their starting 5 alongside Devin Booker, Josh Jackson, Ayton, and whoever the Suns start at point guard. Bridges is one of the older players in the draft, but his combination of shooting and perimeter defense is already at a level most contenders would love to have on their team. Speaking of point guard, Phoenix may have found their long-term answer at the top of the second round in Frenchman Elie Okobo. Okobo does a lot of things well, but doesn’t really have any standout skills. He’s a capable shooter, a decent ball handler, a good finisher around the rim, and a solid passer. He shows defensive potential every now and then, but he does need to become more consistent on that end of the floor. As an all-around prospect, Okobo is a good pick who could become a starting point guard in the NBA. Finally, the Suns grabbed George King, a 24 year old from Colorado, who will come of the bench and offer shooting, effort, and athleticism.
Portland Trail Blazers: C+
The Trail Blazers drafted two guards, which indicates to me that they’ll likely trade one of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum by the trade deadline. Anfernee Simons, the Blazers’s first round pick out of IMG Academy, is an athletic two guard with a lot of scoring upside. Simons has flashed an impressive handle to pair with his good shooting ability, and he’s an impressive athlete. At 6'3" with a 6'9" wingspan, Simons has some defensive upside but he needs to improve both his strength and instincts to tap into that potential. If he does become a much better defender, that would help Portland solve some of their current backcourt defensive woes in the future. Gary Trent Jr., who Portland traded two future second round picks for the rights to draft, is a knockdown three point shooter, but isn’t a great athlete and needs to make major strides on the defensive end of the floor to survive in the NBA.
Sacramento Kings: D+
I can justify the Suns drafting DeAndre Ayton over Luka Doncic. I cannot justify the Kings passing on Doncic to draft Marvin Bagley III. Bagley plays hard and is a good athlete, but he doesn’t protect the rim well enough to play as a lone big man and his short wingspan indicates he may never protect the rim well enough to do so. Bagley needs to make major strides on his shooting to be effective in the NBA, although he is a great at-rim finisher which will make him a functional pick-and-roll player. Bagley is a good rebounder and athlete but I still have concerns about his fit, both in Sacramento and in the modern NBA.
San Antonio Spurs: B+
Lonnie Walker IV has a past history of knee injuries. Otherwise, his value at 18 is excellent. Walker is 6'4" with a 6'10" wingspan, but he’s too lean to defend multiple positions at this point in his career. Walker’s shooting form is good, his footwork off the catch and coming around screens appears solid, but his percentages aren’t elite. Later in the college season when teammate Bruce Brown was injured, Walker was forced into a go-to scoring role. Some of his percentages suffered, but Walker showed that he has the ability to create his own shot. With some more development in San Antonio, Walker could be a very solid player for a long time. In the second round, the Spurs picked up a bit of a project in Chimezie Metu, an athletic big man who doesn’t have any refined skills. Metu shoots well from both mid-range and the free throw line, so with some training he could develop a reliable three point shot. Overall though, Metu is a raw prospect who will need a lot of training and coaching before he can be an impact player.
Toronto Raptors: N/A
The Raptors made no draft picks or trades.
Utah Jazz: C+
Utah will love Grayson Allen’s shooting ability, he’ll knock down spot-up shots in their offense, even contested ones. Allen has also improved over time as a passer, and he should continue to improve in Utah’s ball movement offense. Allen is tough and plays hard, but he lacks lateral quickness, so he could be a defensive liability. Regardless, the Duke guard should fit into the Jazz rotation somewhere, either just as a jump shooting role player or in a larger offensive role in the future.
Washington Wizards: C+
The Wizards drafted two guards, both of whom excel on the defensive end. Troy Brown is a high-IQ player, a good defender, and a solid ball handler and creator. He’ll be well suited to a secondary ball handler role playing off the bench alongside one of John Wall or Bradley Beal. However, Brown’s jumper has a weird form and he isn’t a particularly good shooter, so he’ll need to improve to be able to help space the floor at all. Issuf Sanon, Washington’s second pick, is a Slovenian League player who I know next to nothing about, but scouting reports describe him as a draft-and-stash combo guard prospect who has played well as a defender and attacking the rim.
