Constantly moving, CUTs featured as highest scoring category through 2021/22 season, returning 1.085PPP on 56.8%aFG. Challenges defenders ability to rotate and help, persistently navigating the baseline to locate dunker-spot position, opening up vertical passing lanes with the athleticism to grab lobs off zero-step take-offs.
----
Excellent offensive rebounder, led team on 2.5off-rpg on route to a total 6.2rpg. Actively boxes out and “cracks back” to win position, is a tenacious ball-hawk able to grab the rock and finish in a crowd, converting put-backs at 61.9%FG / 1.14PPP.
----
An effective PNR-roll man, sprints out of screens, has good hands on the catch and is capable finishing through contact yielding 1.113PPP on 61.1%aFG. An exquisite finisher on push-shots / runners, ranked top-5% with a 58.1%FG / 1.258PPP conversion, an effective weapon used to great effect to counter drop coverages and heavy-tag rotations.
----
An athletic 6’9, willingly hustles through multiple actions to create constant defensive disruption. An imposing perimeter presence has the wingspan to take away clean looks and force guards into tough shots.
----
A smart and versatile PNR-defender, doesn’t get baited into ghost screen actions, has the length and mobility to sink and contain, while also possessing the speed and agility to hedge and trap.
----
Off-ball, shows the awareness and footspeed to “pull in” and “fire out”, holding spot-ups to just 27.9%FG / 0.738PPP.
