EJ Montgomery, PF, Undecided

Composite Ranking: 12

EJ Montgomery is a long and athletic 6-foot-10 forward. He probably is strictly a five in the NBA with an improved body particularly his lower body. He’s got some skill to his game and can handle well for his size. I’d like to see a more consistent jumpshot out of him, so he can be a pick and pop threat and use his athleticism and ball handling to attack closeouts.

He shows some potential to be switchable and guard on the perimeter. If he could show some rim protecting ability that would really help his stock go a long way.

Right now, EJ Montgomery is probably more of a two-year prospect, but there’s still potential in him even if he stays in college for two years.
