![]() ![]() ![]() Smith ranked in the 94th percentile in spot-up scoring last season, averaging 1.211 points per possession. His jump shot is incredibly fluid with great mechanics. What Smith put on tape this year was nothing short of stellar, given his measurables (6’10, 220 pounds). Based on Smith’s performance in the SEC this season and his projectable NBA tools, he should be considered the top prospect in this year’s class. ![]() For most evaluators, usually, Smith, Paolo Banchero, or Chet Holmgren finds themselves as the top prospect on the board. Shooting Splits: 42.9 FG% / 42 3P% / 79.9 FT%įrom Dieng, we turn our attention to Smith, whose current projections land him within the top-5 of most mock drafts. Jabari Smith, PF, AuburnĢ021 Stats (34 Games Played): 28.8 minutes per game, 16.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2 assists Don’t be shocked if Dieng goes in the top-15 come draft night, and he will live up to the billing if he gets the proper development in the NBA. Nonetheless, his ball-handling and high ceiling make him the perfect prospect for a team trying to construct a talented young core. While Dieng ended the season well, his shooting splits to begin the season was a major red flag to evaluators. NBA evaluators’ main concerns are his lack of athleticism, and his shooting splits over the course of the whole season. The effectiveness of his physical tools was on full display during this past NBL season, guarding both ball handlers and big men on switches and moving with ball handlers on the perimeter.ĭieng is currently projected in the mid-to-late first-round range, and he ranked 17th on the Athletics’ most recent big board. His mobility on the perimeter, combined with his 7-foot wingspan, means that he has the potential to guard 1-4 at the next level if he fills out his frame. To complement his offensive skill set, Dieng is one of the most versatile defenders in the class. His floater and runner game was highly effective, shooting 42.4% on runners last season. Dieng showed great touch when he got into the lane or to the rim. He reads the floor well and demonstrates excellent patience and awareness when coming off ball screens. If he ever got a big in space on the perimeter, he was more than capable of creating separation and hitting a shot.ĭiengs’ playmaking and shot creation out of the pick and roll was remarkable at 6’10. It’s one thing to say he has a strong handle, and it’s another thing to see him put it into action. According to Synergy, Dieng averaged 1.05 points per possession on all jump shots off the dribble. He moves with real fluidity on the perimeter and can really get to his spot off the dribble. The main selling points with Dieng are the combination of playmaking and scoring along with a smooth handle at 6’10. However, his offensive versatility and his fit in today’s NBA make him a high upside prospect. Currently, Dieng is projected in the mid-to-late first-round range. Shooting Splits: 39.8 FG% / 27.1 3PT% / 66.7 FT%ĭieng is my early favorite to outperform his draft position when it is all said and done. ![]() L.2021 Stats (23 Games Played): 20.3 minutes per game, 8.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals Remembrance of Things _ book by Marcel Proust that holds the world record for longest novel.Moby-_ book by Herman Melville that holds the world record for the longest novel translated into emojis.Tolkien that holds the world record for the novel with the most video games based on it Sacre _!
