Expert Analysis
Colby Giacubeno | Prep Hoops Scout
Another standout freshman on the Lakers who deserved a bump is Pitts. Nearing 6-foot-2, Pitts boasts a wiry frame with fluid shooting mechanics that he can use to convert in volume from three. He’s able to use that strength of spacing the floor and play off the gravity he demands to make life easier for others. Whether that’s maintaining spacing in the half court to create driving lanes, making split-second decision off the catch as defenders rotate or getting to spots in the paint where he’s flashed a soft-touch floater, Pitts has the feel that we’d like to see with a spot-up shooter in his grade. High likelihood of Pitts sprouting another 3-5 inches by the time he wraps up his high school career, which would only add to the long-term trajectory.
