NBA Draft Scouting: Jaden Ivey

Physicals:

Height - 6’4

Weight - 200 lbs

Wingspan - 6’10

Jaden Ivey is the best point guard in this Draft, a position which he consolidated in his sophomore season at Purdue. Ivey could have declared for the Draft last year but opted to spend another season in college with the aim of developing his game.

In most cases, the extra year in college is a hindrance to a player’s draft stock. Teams are drawn to players who add a new skill every single year and it can be hard to fulfil that expectation with limited practice time.
