Walter Clayton Scouting Report
By Avi Tyagi Will run himself into trouble sometimes in the paint. Great shooter, great pull-up shooter. Will attack to create pull-ups on the left or the right wing (even if he does show a preference [...]

By Avi Tyagi Great defender for a freshman, if a little foul-prone. A competitive shot contestor, Carter can get lost off-ball with his head turned to the ball, but is otherwise a consistent force. He’s a [...]

By Avi Tyagi Good rim finisher on self-created attempts, even if he’s not an elite vertical athlete for his size and position (still above average hops). Deceptive with his speed. Loves spins and spinning pivots and [...]
