whys he look like mr beast PHYSICALS: Official Measurements 6'11.25" Barefoot 227.2 lbs. 7'2" Wingspan 9'3" Standing Reach 32.5 Inch Vertical Jump STRENGTHS: Games Watched UNC v. Kentucky UNC v. Georgia Tech UNC v. Florida State UNC v. Ohio State UNC v. Georgetown UNC v. Michigan State UNC v. Kansas UNC v. Central Arkansas Strengths - Veesaar moves pretty well on offense for his size, especially coming downhill. - He was able to play 31 MPG, which in itself is immensely valuable for a center. - Veesaar is very smart and opportune when it comes to finding open space on the court and exploiting it. - He finished 75% of his shots at the rim on 162 attempts. While he's more of a traditional play finisher (58 dunks) in this area, there is value in knowing he's a reliable target in the paint. - His knack for finding open space made him incredibly effective as a roller, he can become even better in this area when given more opportunities from an NBA level PG. - Veesaar is very active for his size, always screening or rolling and never just standing around in the paint. He's pretty quick coming downhill as well, but not an elite athlete or anything. - While he dunks a lot, Veesaar isn't limited to just that. He shot 67% on layups, 51% on hook shots, and 50% on floaters, pointing to his great touch around the rim. - Veesaar is a REAL floor spacer with a jumper that can actually be realized in the NBA. He shot 42.6% on 3.0 3PA per game. He made 43% of his catch and shoot looks, 53% on unguarded attempts, and a solid 35% on guarded attempts. - Veesaar is a very solid rebounder, grabbing 8.7 RPG (6.5 DREB, 2.2 OREB), and posting a 15 REB%. He isn't elite in this aspect, but he's more than solid enough for the NBA. - Veesaar's processing as a passer is exceptional for a player of his size, and he flashes some tantalizing playmaking ability. He averaged 2.1 APG and a 13.6 AST%, both in large part to his ability to kick the ball out to downhill drivers or open shooters on the perimeter. While those numbers don't seem insane, watching the way he passes the ball will help in understanding the inherent upside he offers as a prospect. - Veesaar is at his best in drop coverage as a defender in large part to his understanding of when to begin his backpedal. His great timing can make up for poor foot speed, at least in interior defense. - While I don't consider Veesaar a great defender, he's giving maximum effort 100% of the time, and looked pretty good as more of a team oriented defender or in isolation against guards. His size and length are very workable, and I think he'll be able to hold up well enough in the NBA. WEAKNESSES: Weaknesses - Veesaar is just 227 pounds as a 7 foot player, leaving him very susceptible to more physical players on the defensive end. His wiry frame is also cause for concern on offense as well, as he can really struggle to score in face up situations or in the post. - Veesaar can be bumped off his drives to the rim when coming downhill. - Veesaar's rim defense was not nearly the level it should be for a player with his size and length, only managing 1.2 BPG and a 3.8 DBPM. The eye test confirms this as well, with Veesaar not contesting or altering shots as much/often as you'd expect. - Opponents shot 51% at the rim with Veesaar guarding them. - His lack of overall rim deterrence may have some teams prefer him in more of a stretch forward role as opposed to a full time center. - He specifically struggles to get out to the perimeter quick enough to contest in pick and pop situations, but his foot speed is all around pretty slow on defense and really limits him on the perimeter. - Veesaar is 22 years old. - He shot 71% at the line as a freshman, 68% as a sophomore, and just 61% as a junior this season, showing a clear downward trend in this area.
