Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot

Height: 6-foot-7
Weight: 205
Wingspan: 6-foot-11

Strengths: Pesky wing who can play either small forward or shooting guard. While he can set a slow and deliberate pace, he possesses a quick burst which can deceive. As mobile without as with ball, completely capable of creating his own shots. Fearless. Will charge the basket if he sees an opening, often splitting defenders in the attempt.

Weaknesses: Takes a lot of chances. Needs to mature, develop physically. Needs to optimize his shot selection, set up defenders with inside moves to later pop out for open perimeter shots.

Fit to Team Scheme: Very strong fit. He is the 3-and-D two way player Brett Brown has coveted, and he is both fearless and persistent on defense. He is quick, can set up at the perimeter, and can pass the ball on if he is covered well.

Platinum Tier Requirement: To achieve platinum, he would need to score 29 points per game, as well as pilfer 1.9 steals per game, and offer up 6.5 assists per game.

Gold Tier Requirement: In order to land in the gold tier, he would need to score 22 points per game, as well as help himself to 1.7 steals, and dish out 4.8 assists per game

Silver Tier Requirement: The silver tier for his position requires he maintains the upper 21 percent of his position, which would require him to score 20.5 points per game, as well as snatch 1.55 steals, and dish out 4.4 assists per game.

Likely tier projection: Silver.  Luwawu will likely be a strong contributor and fall short of even the Silver tier, but if he has a strong rookie season, his athleticism could take him very far on the Philadelphia 76ers.
