Donelson is a name we’re keeping close tabs on because there’s a lot to like about where his game can go. He brings a competitive edge on the defensive end and has the instincts to stay in front, make plays and create problems without needing everything run through him. That willingness to do the dirty work gives him a foundation to build on. As his offensive game continues to come along and his confidence grows, there’s a chance for his overall game to really open up. He has the tools and mentality to become a player worth watching closely over the next few seasons

Donelson showed flashes defensively at the showcase, doing a solid job staying connected to his assignment and working to keep the ball in front. He was active from the perimeter and showed an understanding of where he needed to be within the team defensive structure. While his offensive role was more limited, he found ways to contribute without needing the ball in his hands. His willingness to defend and stay engaged on that end gave him opportunities to impact possessions even when he wasn’t involved offensively
