Pietras showed flashes for State 38 and is a player who I expect to just continue getting better every single time that we see him. He flashed an interesting combination of size and knowing how to use it to his advantage, running the floor on a fast-paced team that wants to get to the basket and spacing. He contests shots, he grabs boards in bunches, and goes right up and lets the offense come to him. We want to see him take over those moments as his skill and size can be a weapon. The tools are there, and when it all starts coming together, it’s going to be a very solid prospect. He makes the list. 

Pietras showcased a versatile skill set that allowed him to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he stood out with his ability to guard on the perimeter, using his length effectively to contest shots and even come away with blocks in space. His mobility for his size made him a valuable defender in multiple situations. Offensively, Pietras demonstrated his ability to stretch the floor by knocking down shots from beyond the arc, forcing defenders to step out and respect his range. He also remained active on the offensive glass, creating second chance opportunities for his team. His combination of length, mobility and perimeter shooting makes him a unique and effective frontcourt presence.
