Immanuel Quickley Scouting Report

May 12, 2020 Lee Branscome 1

This time last year, Immanuel Quickley would not have registered as a blip on the radar of the NBA Draft experts. A lot can change in 12 months. The off-ball sharpshooter transformed himself from a sparingly used reserve guard as a freshman into the SEC Player of the Year and [ . . . ]

Carsen Edwards Scouting Report

June 17, 2019 Richard C. Harris 0

Carsen Edwards may only be 6-feet tall, but let’s be clear, he’s a shooting guard, not a point guard.  In his three years at Purdue, he never averaged more than three assists per game, and never led his team in assists.  For his career, he has an assist-turnover ratio of [ . . . ]

KZ Okpala

KZ Okpala Scouting Report

June 15, 2019 Richard C. Harris 0

Chikezie “KZ” Okpala is a long and athletic wing, with broad shoulders and room for future growth.  This season, he was the best player on a young Stanford team that struggled in a down year for the PAC 12.  His numbers improved significantly compared to his freshman season, and he [ . . . ]

Grant Williams

Grant Williams Scouting Report

June 14, 2019 Richard C. Harris 0

Grant Williams is an undersized power forward, who uses strength and physicality to dominate in the paint.  He also has a high basketball IQ and great feel for the game, and makes significant contributions as both a passer and a defender.  This season, he produced outstanding numbers, averaging 18.8 points, [ . . . ]

Goga Bitadze Scouting Report

June 12, 2019 Richard C. Harris 0

It’s been quite a journey for Goga Bitadze, who is not yet 20 years old.  At the age of 16, the native of Georgia (the country) was getting minutes in the top league in Russia (VTB United), but for the most part, he mostly played at the junior level until [ . . . ]

June 10, 2019 Richard C. Harris 0

While he may not be a household name in the United States, Rui Hachimura has been a star on the international level for some time, especially in his home country of Japan.  Scouts began to take note as far back as the 2014 U17 World Cup, when he played for [ . . . ]

Cam Reddish

Cam Reddish Scouting Report

June 7, 2019 Richard C. Harris 0

The team that selects Cam Reddish will do so based far more on potential than on what he did this season as a freshman.  To put it mildly, he struggled to mesh with Duke’s other stars, Zion Williamson and R. J. Barrett, who dominated the ball and clogged up the [ . . . ]

De'Andre Hunter

De’Andre Hunter Scouting Report

June 6, 2019 Richard C. Harris 0

De’Andre Hunter is a versatile combo forward, who possesses a great combination of athleticism, length and strength, and can play inside and out on both ends of the court.  Not one to demand the ball, and playing for the slow-paced Cavaliers, he did not produce eye-popping numbers during his two [ . . . ]
