Duval is a better prospect than No. 20, but his complete lack of a jump shot could cause some teams to sour on him. The Hawks, in need of a backup point guard, would be happy to jump on a potential steal.

At 6-foot-3 with a 6-foot-9 wingspan, Duval is an impressive athlete with advanced handles on the offensive end. He can break down defenders off the dribble with ease, allowing him to get into the lane and create despite his limited shooting.

Duval’s instincts as a passer are what shine most offensively, and it’s his high basketball I.Q. that should attract NBA teams. He’s also extremely competitive defensively, using his length to disrupt passing angles and using his quick hands to force turnovers.
