Expert Analysis
Jay Frye | Prep Hoops Scout
Waits is a three-level scoring playmaker who balances offensive creation with defensive engagement. He can initiate offense, operate in ball-screen action, or score off the catch when playing off another creator. His ability to defend in space stands out, sliding laterally and contesting without fouling. Offensively, he mixes pull-up shooting with downhill attacks to keep defenders guessing. That blend of scoring versatility and defensive reliability makes him a valuable backcourt piece.

Waits plays with a feel for the game, especially as a scorer and playmaker within the flow of the offense. His handle has evolved, featuring wiry hang dribbles and sharp changes of direction that freeze defenders and make his mid-range pull-up nearly impossible to predict. His ability to operate in tight spaces and create his own shot makes him a dangerous isolation weapon with tremendous upside.

is a highly skilled and polished bucket-getter, Waits combines crafty dribbling with creativity, quick thinking, and impeccable ball control. His ability to put the ball on the deck and string together combo moves to create space or driving angles is spectacular. His change of pace keeps defenders on their toes, as he seamlessly shifts gears from slow to lightning-fast, throwing his opponents’ timing off. Waits will blow by you with a first step unlike many others, often leaving defenders in the dust. His quick release and good elevation allow him to get his shot off above defenders, particularly in the mid-range, where he’s an assassin, especially when he’s able to find his spots near the elbows or short corners.
