PG · 2020 NBA Draft, 2nd round, pick #37 (WAS)
Why he was overlooked Patterns
Nothing in our pre-draft data flagged him as a steal: his age, school, testing and position profile looked like a typical pick in his range. The gap opened after the draft, on the field.
- Pre-draft rankings
ESPN's pre-draft board ranked him #97 (#27 at his position); he went #37, 60 spots earlier. So teams were actually higher on him than the media board was; everyone underrated him.

- Age
20.0 years old on draft night (born 2000-06-19).
Since 2000, picks in this group beat their draft slot 50.4% of the time (246 players, 2000–2021 classes) vs. 50% for a typical pick.
