Deion brings a different type of versatility because his impact doesn’t depend on having the ball.

My Day 2 notes were simple:

High motor. Can defend in the paint. Helps on the glass.

That’s valuable.

A player who can move between perimeter responsibilities and interior defensive assignments gives his team some flexibility. Add the rebounding and motor, and you’re talking about somebody who can influence possessions without needing plays called for him.

Boog’s Take: Deion’s value is in the work. You notice him because he’s around the ball, he’s competing and he’s willing to do the things that don’t always show up in the box score. That’s the type of player I want to continue watching against bigger and more physical competition.

Jordan brings a strong frontcourt profile with the size and physical tools to impact the game around the basket. His length gives him natural value as a finisher and rebounder, while his mobility creates opportunities for him to affect possessions away from the paint. The next stage of his development will be important as he continues turning those physical advantages into a more complete offensive package.
