Lackaff checks a lot of boxes college coaches look for in a modern guard. At 6-4, he has the size to see over defenses, the shooting touch to stretch the floor, and enough playmaking ability to keep teammates involved. He doesn’t hunt shots just to score; instead, he lets the game come to him and picks his spots efficiently. Whether operating out of ball screens or spotting up beyond the arc, he’s productive without dominating possessions.
