Nassir Little among next wave of freshman phenoms

Posted Jul 23, 2018
Nassir Little is a sleeper for the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA draft. Jonathan Givony pegs him at No. 2, despite his finishing No. 6 in the 2018 class. He has been compared to Kawhi Leonard for his ability to excel at both ends of the floor, and his stock rose significantly after winning MVP at the McDonald's All American Game and Jordan Brand Classic.
