Shooting
The first thing that jumps off the page for Moody is his elite shooting ability. He is easily one of the best shooters in the 2021 NBA Draft Class. He is much more than a spot-up shooter and has showcased some potential when it comes to creating his own shot off the dribble. That being said his catch and shoot ability sets him apart from other guards in this year’s class. The NBA has evolved into a league that demands good shooters on their rosters. Players like Moody will always have a roster spot if they continue to knock down shots at an elite level.

In this Davion Mitchell NBA Draft Profile, we’ll get into why Davion Mitchell shot up draft boards this past season. He was one of the darlings of this year’s NCAA Tournament where he actually outshined his backcourt mate Jared Butler and was the one tasked with closing games from the champion Baylor Bears. When Baylor struggled to get offense, Scott Drew often told Baylor to run some stall offense before giving it to Mitchell to attack at the end of the shot clock. His defense was his main calling card though, and that is why he was named this year’s National Defensive Player of the Year.

Kai Jones is one of the most intriguing prospects in this draft. He stands at 6’11 with a 7’1 wingspan who block shots, rebound, runs, and stretch the floor, there is a lot to like. Jones committed to the Longhorns over the likes of Florida State and Baylor in 2018, spending two seasons in Austin before declaring for this year’s draft. He averaged 6.2 points per game in that time, 4.8 rebounds, and 1 block a game. While nothing to write home about, the interest in Jones is in his potential. There were flashes of greatness during his college career, but just that. So what should NBA fans expect out of Jones? Find out, in Def Pen’s Kai Jones NBA Draft Profile.
