Dalton Pepper — SG, 6-5, 220
Senior, 24 years old
Season (36 mpg): 16.7 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 2.4 APG
Game: 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists
Outlook: Pepper is a good college player, but a real long shot for the NBA.
He’s a physical SG with range on his jumper. He’s most effective in catch-and-shoot situations (shooting 54%), and is a consistent scorer for this Temple group.
But he lacks NBA athleticism and struggles to create off the dribble. Furthermore, I assume Pepper would struggle against guys who match his strength and physicality. He also stays upright in his stance defensively, routinely getting beat off the dribble. At 24 years old, I don’t see it.
