Sporting News' NBA Draft Big Board 2019

2. Nassir Little, SF, UNC: Little is a prospect who rose up rankings through the spring all-star circuit competing against other top players in the class. The 6-7 wing is a capable scorer from the perimeter with one of the better pull-up jumpers among incoming freshmen. In the NBA, he should be a multi-positional defender capable of sliding up and down the lineup. (Sporting News)
