total jumper death PHYSICALS: Official Measurements 6'7.75" Barefoot 225.6 lbs. 7'0" Wingspan 8'10.25" Standing Reach 37.5 Inch Vertical STRENGTHS: Games Watched Arizona v. BYU Arizona v. Michigan Arizona v. Purdue Arizona v. Arkansas Arizona v. LIU Arizona v. Utah St. Arizona v. Houston Arizona v. Kansas Strengths - Peat is built very well, being nearly 6'8 without shoes and being one of the most jacked prospects in the class. - Peat is quite athletic for his size, allowing him to have lots of switchability potential on the defensive end. - His strength is exceptional, helping him finish through contact or be a real force in the paint on defense. - Peat has really good verticality which not only helps him dunk at a good rate, but also secure offensive rebounds. Peat grabbed 2.1 OREB per game, and posted a 9.1 OREB%, both of which are really good for a wing type player. - Peat made his money as more of a complimentary scoring threat and play finisher, having a very translatable skillset. He made 65% (57% on layups, 91% on dunks) of his shots at the rim on 203 attempts, and was very reliable throughout the season. - Peat has a very unique way of angling himself to make tough shots through contact, using his shoulders to sort of pinball defenders off of him. - Peat's handle is decent enough to get himself good looks in face up situations, but with improvement can really transform his game. - Peat flashes some midrange game from time to time, but is overall better the closer he is to the rim. - While the steals and blocks won't show it, Peat is an above average defender on tape. His strength and fluidity in his lower half make him very hard to shake, and his length helps him alter shots regularly. Opponents shot just 32% when guarded by him, a clear indicator of his defensive ability. - Peat is an above average connective passer, averaging 2.6 APG, a 16.7 AST%, and 1.6 AST/TO ratio. He does a great job of immediately recognizing mismatches or lapses in defense and rarely makes a poor decision. WEAKNESSES: Weaknesses - Peat could stand to be a bit more aware on defense, as he can often be late to react to offensive plays developing. - His passing accuracy could stand to get better, with him struggling the most when passing on the move. - The most glaring concern with Peat is his three point shot. He attempted just 20 three pointers this season, making 35% of them. The volume is simply not enough to even suggest that this is a skill that's ready for the NBA. It's very likely that Peat will remain a non-shooter for multiple seasons or his entire career, as simply developing a jumper at the NBA level is not common for most players. - Peat's three point shot is very wonky, with his guide hand being late to leave the ball. - He shot just 62% at the line, which is never a good sign for a jumpers development. - If we are considering Peat as someone who won't be a three point shooter in the NBA, that means his offensive value will be entirely at the rim and in the midrange. As a result, he'll need to continue to improve his handle and self creation ability to consistently provide offensive value. - He's very reliant on strength as a driver, so when he tries backing down someone his size he can often get bumped and lose control of his dribble. - Peat doesn't have a true position, being too small to be a center but not having ideal size for a power forward.
