Trevor Lacey
NBA Comparison: Andrew Goudelock Strengths: Lacey is a proven scorer at the college level. He is a strong combo guard with a knack for putting points on the board. He’s a knockdown shooter from any spot on the floor but is at his best when the floor is spaced and he has room to take his man one on one. Doesn’t need much room to get his shot off and is deadly when doing so. He is extremely crafty with his dribble which allows him to get by defenders without elite quickness.

Joel James
NBA Comparison: Charles Oakley Strengths: Bigman with an intriguing combination of strength and agility to run the floor … A bull in a China shop.

Alex Abrines
NBA Comparison: Fred Hoiberg/Richie Frahm Strengths: His wingspan and height are perfect for his role … Possesses underrated athleticism since he doesn’t attack the basket very often … Abrines is probably the purest shooter among European NBA prospects, with fluid mechanics, quick release, and a huge range …
