89 Overall:

NBA Comparison: Solomon Hill

Strengths: A physical player that can rebound the ball …  Explosive athlete who can get by people despite his 6’8 frame … Has a 7 foot wingspan … Has great vertical athleticism but only recorded 0.8 blocks per game …  Has good speed and quickness … Determined player has a good motor when he wants to …  Decent free throw shooter at 73.6% in his two seasons … Can defend 1-4 with his lateral quickness … Does a lot of things decently, can rebound, defend, shoot and run in transition … Checked in a with a phenominal 2.9% body fat at the NBA Draft Combine …

Weaknesses: Somewhat limited offensively … Poor 3-point shooter at 30.7% from deep in college … Extremely inefficient interior shooter at 40.4% at ‘Cuse … Don’t know much about his man-to-man or his interior defense because of the Syracuse zone … Takes a lot of ill-advised shots … If he can’t get to the hoop sometimes appears to throw the ball toward the rim and hopes for the best … Does not really have a defined position … Will need to find his role, doesn’t excel in any one aspect of the game … Needs to polish his overall offensive game …

Outlook: Oshae Brissett is a physical player who has a lot of raw skill but will need to improve a lot of aspects of his game in order to see any action in the NBA … Just based on his athletic gifts, Brissett could be a mid-late second rounder as teams could take a chance on him and stash him in the G-League for a few years as he matures … He will have to shoot better because he is not quite big enough to be a post-only player and he will need to space to use his athleticism and strength to drive into the lane … If he can develop a jump shot and look up while driving to the basket instead of throwing up bad shots, Brissett could be a decent interior-midrange scorer … If he can work at his shot, could end up a sleeper …

Notes: Measured: 6′ 7” barefoot, 6′ 8” in shoes, 203.2lbs, 7′ 0” wingspan, and an 8′ 8” standing reach at the 2019 NBA Draft Combine … Born June 20th, 1998 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada… Played at Findlay Prep until his senior year, then transferred to Athlete Institute back in Canada… Ranked 137th in the class of 2017 …
