Size: 6-8, 187

School: UCLA, Sophomore


Strengths:

Athleticism

Length

Shot blocker

Solid defender who can cover ground quickly with his long strides

Ridiculous leaping ability

Explosive finisher

Pull-up jump shot

Improved three-point shooter

Summary: Tyler Honeycutt showed flashes of his potential in his two years at UCLA but is still developing his all-around game. Scouts are enamored by his legth, versatility and athleticism, but he will need to get much stronger before he can make an impact at the next level. Based on his upside, he should be a late first-round pick who could climb into the late teens.

Player Comparison: Nicolas Batum. Both players are long and rangy, possess capable, but often times inconsistent outside shots. If Honeycutt can groom his game like Batum has since entering the league, he could have a similar impact.
