Bryce Buchanan

State: Northern California
School: Inderkum

We haven’t seen much of Buchanan since the early season showcase we attended. He’s a 6’8 prospect that spends time on the perimeter and working his way into the post on occasion. He hit the 3ptr from the corner and wings. He did some ball handling in half-court sets, brought the ball up court, and spent time working the mid, and low post areas.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
