Nassir Little, a forward from North Carolina, averaged 9.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 0.7 assists a game. While Little is extremely explosive and has an incredible length with a 7'1 wingspan, he has struggled with consistency throughout his college career.

Little lacks the ability to create offense off the dribble and seems to depend on only his athleticism to score. His offensive moves seem to be predetermined, allowing teams to easily lock him up on defense. His lack of shooting consistency is also a problem - he only shot 27% from three in his freshman year.

Little also tends to be careless with the ball, allowing easy turnovers. His offensive game seems limited to driving past defenders attempting to draw contact or the rare pull-up jumpshot. Nassir also records a 7.1 assist percentage, which is extremely low for a first-round forward. Moreover, his basketball IQ and feel for the game are not top-notch.

Nassir should also look to improve his ball handling and passing ability, which are not at the NBA level right now. He does not present himself as a regular offensive threat with him not being able to break the defense down or create shots for teammates at will. His lack of a mid-range game, turnovers, inability to move off the ball, and predictability present problems for a potential top 15 pick.
