NBA Comparison: Richie Frahm/Andy Rautins

Strengths: One of the best three point shooters in the NCAA, hitting over 50% his senior year …  At 6-6, can get his shot up over most defenders … Nearly limitless range on his jumper … Doesn’t get enough credit for his passing ability … High basketball IQ, very effective at finding openings on the perimeter … Complements his jumpshot with very effective pump fakes … Not afraid to put the ball on the floor to create space for himself … Gets down the floor well in transition … Always finds a way to set his feet, allowing him to be effective making moves and shots while off balance … Incredibly efficient scorer, especially for somebody who spends his time on the perimeter…Jumpshot mechanics are impeccable … Takes care of the basketball, averaging less than a turnover a game despite playing big minutes … Excellent shot selection. Rarely takes bad shots … Actually shows surprising leaping ability …

Weaknesses: Fairly one dimensional player … Thin frame will result in him being pushed around on defense …  Doesn’t possess great speed or quickness … Lacks the speed and athleticism of an NBA guard … Streaky shooter who if he goes cold struggles to impact the game… Not physical. Doesn’t get to the free throw line enough for an 82% shooter … Lacks star power … Limited potential … Looks destined to spend his career as a shooter coming off the bench … Only average lateral quickness will result in him struggling to defend quicker players …
 
Notes: Tied Big Ten Conference single game record with 10 three point field goals on 12 attempts against Penn St.
