Nassir Little, SF, North Carolina

Composite Ranking: 6

There’s a lot to like about the idea of Nassir Little as an NBA prospect. He’s just going to have to prove his jumpshot and shot creation to really solidify himself as a sure fire mid to late first round selection at the worst.

His jumpshot is improving, but I wouldn’t buy into it yet. He brings a ton of value on the defensive end at 6-foot-7 with a strong lower body and a 7-foot-1 wingspan combined with his athleticism and speed he guards at least three positions at the next level.

Nassir Little has gifts physically and athletically that can’t be taught, and that makes him a one and done even with minimal development at North Carolina.
