2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jake LaRavia

LaRavia knocked down 37.1 percent of his 3-point attempts across three seasons with Indiana State and Wake Forest, including 38.4 percent of his 2.2 attempts with the Demon Deacons. Most of those were off the catch; he possessed a very fluid, quick release stemming from getting little lift. LaRavia found open pockets on the perimeter as a floor spacer and routinely capitalized on those opportunities — especially when open. He caught defenses lacking with timely cuts and throwback interior post moves. Spins, half-spins, step throughs, you name it — LaRavia likely did it.

Defensive upside:

The 6-foot-8 wing was a very capable defender at the collegiate level.
