NBA Draft 2019: Take a chance on bouncy Nassir Little

You know, the colorful balls of clay we played with as a kid. We rolled it, shaped it, molded it, creating whatever we could imagine. Well, I’m about to spend the next 500-or-so words comparing athletic North Carolina forward Nassir Little to Play-Doh.

Buckle up.

The Good

The 19-year-old Little stands 6-foot-7 and weighs in at 224 pounds.

He averaged just 9.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in his lone season at UNC, shooting 48 percent overall, 26.9 percent from 3-point range and 77 percent from the line. The free throw shooting gives hope that maybe his clunky jumper can be tweaked.
