Cleveland Cavaliers: 10 prospects to watch for in 2019 NBA Draft

7. Nassir Little — SF (UNC)

Entering his freshman season at North Carolina, expectations were high for Nassir Little. The five-star recruit out of Orange Park, Florida, put himself on the map by winning MVP honors in both the 2018 McDonald’s All-American game and the Jordan Brand Classic.

Unfortunately, what once looked like a surefire star has now turned into a project. Little has displayed some bad tendencies on both ends of the floor and has struggled to crack the rotation at UNC.

Despite this, he has still put up 9.9 points and 4.3 rebounds a game in just 18.9 minutes of playing time. Seeing as he is only 18 years old, Little has plenty of time to learn the game and live up to his previous expectations.

NBA comparison: Victor Oladipo

Little reminds me a lot of Victor Oladipo in the way that he can put his head down and burst into the paint. He is relentless in his attack of the rim and can jump out of the gym to dunk on opponents. While Nassir might be three inches taller than Oladipo, he still appears to be blazing quick in the open court and can squeeze into holes in the defense for easy buckets.
