2026 DRAFT PROSPECTA crafty shotmaking scorer with touch
Los Angeles Clippers
Drafted No. 55 · proj. 38–44
A herky-jerky, old-school scorer who gets buckets with craft rather than burst. A bench shotmaker if he can survive defensively.
Proj. pick #52Range 48–60Comp Kyle Anderson (scoring lean)
Strengths
- Crafty, varied scoring with touch
- High-volume bucket-getting
- Footwork and angles in the midrange

Below-average athleticism and defense
