If Gradey Dick is left open, he's mostly guaranteed to knock down the three.<\/em> In addition, he has a smooth shot, and he is known to knock down consistent shots. Dick excels in corner threes and is always down the court in transition.<\/em> We are used to seeing Gradey Dick down corner threes; however, we've seen him snipe from just about anywhere on the court.<\/strong><\/em> In addition to exceptional shooting, Dick is a great defender, and averaged almost 2 steals a game. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nWeaknesses<\/h3>\n I think Gradey Dick will be a force in the NBA, especially teams who need shooting and defense. Dick isn't known for his exceptional speed, in addition to playmaking and facilitating the ball.<\/strong> <\/em>In fact, Gradey Dick only averaged 1.7 assists a game.<\/strong><\/em> In order to become a multi-versatile player, Dick must i<\/strong>mprove his passing and his ability to make plays for his teammates.<\/strong><\/em> In addition, he must work on being able to defend the 1-4 positions. <\/em><\/p>\nI could see Gradey Dick sliding into the top 10, given his odds are +220. <\/strong><\/em> The Los Angeles Lakers are in desperate need of a sharpshooter, so perhaps they will trade up. The Orlando Magic need backcourt shooting as well, perhaps they make something happen, given they have 2 first round picks. I could also see him either land with the Utah Jazz at #9, or perhaps the Raptors or hawks. <\/em><\/p>\nJordan Hawkins<\/span><\/h1>\n\nHOUSTON, TEXAS - APRIL 03: Jordan Hawkins #24 of the Connecticut Huskies celebrates as he cuts down the net after defeating the San Diego State Aztecs 76-59 during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament National Championship game at NRG Stadium on April 03, 2023 in Houston, Texas.

As a fellow UConn alumna, I've intently watched Jordan Hawkins for the last two seasons. Not only did he shoot 55 percent from the Three in the Championship game against San Diego State, but he also played incredible defense. <\/strong><\/em> Even though Hawkins stands a 6 foot 4, he has a 6'6 wingspan,<\/strong><\/em> and we've seen him make plenty of blocks in the regular season and the championship. He plays incredible defense, either at the 1 or 2, and has speed. Overall, I see him as strong guard in the NBA who can provide speed and movement, shooting and defense. He also has an incredible shot speed, which may help with contested shots. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\nWeaknesses<\/h3>\n Jordan Hawkins is listed as a 6-foot 4 guard;<\/strong><\/em> however, I don't see him as a true point guard in the NBA. <\/strong><\/em> He only averaged 1.3 assists<\/em>, and I see him playing better off ball than on offensively<\/strong><\/em>. I also think he's a little undersized for his height<\/strong><\/em> and could improve in the weight room. Overall, I would like to see him attack to the basket more. <\/em><\/p>\nHawkins is one of my sleeper picks, although the odds for him to be drafted into the top 5 and top 10 are extremely high. I could see him fitting in with Miami, Los Angeles, or even Toronto or Utah. <\/em><\/p>\nBilal Coulibaly<\/span><\/h1>\nPARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 15: Bilal Coulibaly of Boulogne Levallois in action during the Playoffs Betclic ELITE - Finale Episode 3 basketball match between Boulogne-Levallois and AS Monaco Basket at Roland Garros Philippe Chatrier in Paris, France, on 15 June 2023.

Although he's been overshadowed by Wembanyama, Coulibaly can be an elite defender in the NBA, especially with a 7-foot wingspan. He may have only averaged 5 points per game; however, he can contribute as a solid slashing defensive wing in the league.<\/em><\/p>\nWeaknesses<\/h3>\n We need to see Bilal Coulibaly perform more on offense in the NBA before labeling him as just a lockdown wing<\/strong><\/em>. In addition, he averages under 1 assists per game, and will need to improve on facilitating and handling the ball in the NBA.<\/em> In addition to slashing to the rim, Coulibaly can work on shooting inconsistencies and developing more of an offensive game. The fact that Bilal Coulibaly shot the three at a high percentage shows he can space the floor, which is extremely important in today's game. Overall, he's extremely impressive, and I do believe he has a higher ceiling in the NBA, and was overshadowed in France. <\/p>\n
