2020 NBA Draft Profiles: Saddiq Bey

Villanova’s Saddiq Bey is the most talented wing in this class. His projected draft range has been all of the place, from ten and below all the way to the mid 20s. It wouldn’t surprise if the Mavericks are crossing their fingers for him to fall to 18.

The Specs

Height: 6’8

Weight: 216 lbs

Wingspan: 6’11

Key Notes

Offense

  • A tremendous outside shooter, especially in spot up and catch-and-shoot situations
  • Very good stationary passer for his size and position
  • Patient and disciplined, not a guy who forces it
  • Can over-pass at times and pass out of good looks
  • Not many promising flashes of him becoming a good driver
  • A very, very, very slow first step

Defense

  • Patient and disciplined, stays on his feet
  • Very smart — sees passing lanes, knows his assignment and how to treat them
  • Good switching ability, can realistically guard 2 through 4, with the potential to defend the 5
  • Overall a very good defender thanks to length and discipline
  • Isn’t a stat-stuffing defender, averaged 0.
