Jayson Tatum
Forward, Duke University, 19 years old
Height: 6’8 Wingspan: 6’11 Weight: 204 lbs
College Stats: 16.8 ppg, 2.1 apg, 7.3 rpg, 1.3 spg, 2.6 topg
50.4% from 2, 34.2% from 3, 84.9% FT
Strengths:
- Can really shoot the mid-range and will need to extend that ability to the 3.
- NBA ready body, which will help help when defending 4s in NBA.
- Very athletic and can handle the ball well.
Weaknesses:
- Struggles defensively in the post.
- Rebounding. Completely relies on athleticism for rebounds and that won’t work at the next level.
- Keeps his eyes on the rim when driving and needs to keep options open.
Biggest Question: Will he be more than a scorer?
Projection: He will be able to score right away, but I don’t see him as the top scorer on a team. Probably a stretch 4 that will open up the floor.
Grade: 84
