NBA Draft Report: Gradey Dick Of Kansas (_ZCO on an elite shooter who also projects a functional team defender with enough size and quickness to be switchable)
In the modern NBA, shooting gets you drafted early, and shooting also gets you paid. When it comes to the draft, we’ve seen quite a few snipers hear their names called in the lottery in recent years, regardless of age. Upperclassmen like Cameron Johnson, Desmond Bane, Corey Kispert and Chris Duarte had skill sets that were deemed so valuable that teams overlooked their perceived lack of upside to draft them early.
Dick’s calling card is his ability to knock down outside shots. Last season, Dick shot 40.3% from three and he did it on 5.7 attempts per game. He has some of the smoothest mechanics you’ll see for a player his age, as he sports a high release and gets his shot off very quickly. When you combine that with the fact that he’s 6-foot-8, you’re looking at a guy that has a place in the NBA for a very long time.
Dick also can make plays for his teammates. He likely won’t spend too much time on the ball at the next level but letting him run the offense will be available in a pinch. And Dick will always be the type of player that looks to find his teammates when he’s on the move. Dick is especially adept at spotting shooters and cutters once he’s already in the air himself, which has a lot to do with his ability to see over defenses with his size.
