2019 NBA Draft scouting report: Simi Shittu

Before the 2019 NBA Draft arrives, Peachtree Hoops will break down more than 70 available prospects with an eye toward what the Atlanta Hawks may look to do in late June.

This installment breaks down Vanderbilt freshman Simi Shittu.

Simi Shittu was the 11th-ranked player in the country coming out of high school in 2018 according to 247 Sports, and 19th in the ESPN Top 100. He was a five-star prospect on 247, ESPN, and pretty much every other major recruiting website. He rose near the top of recruiting boards using his combination of length and mobility to make plays for himself and others, competing with the likes of Bol Bol and and Shareef O’Neal on the AAU circuit before arriving at Vanderbilt in the fall of 2018.
