He made six 3-pointers vs. Rutgers, most of which were contested shots. He has NBA size and length at the shooting guard position, with potential to score from all three levels. He doesn’t elevate on his jump shot (“flat-footed”), which is concerning, and he also struggled to create off the dribble. He can get to the rim, but struggles to finish there. Right now, he is simply a good athlete with a decent jump shot. DeCosey kept Temple in contention, but ultimately it wasn’t enough. Taking a look at his statistics, DeCosey is a good spot-up shooter (44%, 1.2 PPP), and is solid in transition (50%). He also has potential to run off screens and initiate offense. Nearly 70% of DeCosey’s attempts are jump shots, while only 22% of his attempts are around the basket. He needs to focus on attacking the rim more. All things considered, DeCosey’s size, length and scoring ability make him an NBA prospect, albeit one with glaring weaknesses at this point. Video: Points vs. Rutgers, UCF Video: Misses Video: Finishing Struggles Video: Contesting Jump Shots (Good length) DeCosey’s length is an asset on defense, where he’s holding opponents to 30% shooting on spot up attempts. He’s blocked a few shots on the perimeter this season.
