CHU Draft Analysis: Versatile wing forward with tremendous length that enables him to excel as a rebounder and defender. Has plenty of upside left and the fact he flourished under Rick Pitino should only enhance stock as the draft nears.
Game perfectly suited for uptempo system with ability to start, run and finish transition offense. Also adept in the halfcourt, showcasing consistent mid-range jumper he's extended beyond the arc and a serviceable post up game.
Despite the ability to score when determined, may forever be reluctant to look for offense first. Teammates will love his selflessness, but fans may always expect more - ignoring the small things he does well.
At best, develops into one the NBA's elite versatile players. At worst, is a glue guy capable of defending four positions using his long arms in the passing lanes and to harass shots. Looks like a valuable piece to a team looking for an athletic jack-of-all-trades.
