Musa can get buckets, plain and simple. He’s also having an extremely productive season in Croatia, which is uncommon for 19-year-olds. He doesn’t seem like a draft-and-stash piece either, which could make him a prime target for teams looking for bench scoring in the late-first round.

At 6-foot-8, Musa is already a fluid shooter who thrives off the bounce. He falls victim to tunnel vision at times, but does an excellent job of combining shifty dribble combinations with a natural feel for changing speeds. His pull-up shooting and handles could make him a pick-and-roll ball handler down the line.

Boasting a negative wingspan, Musa doesn’t project as much of a defender. He’ll need to add weight in the NBA, but even then his instincts and effort level simply aren’t great on that side of the ball. Perhaps that can change at the next level, though, given his perception as a fiery competitor.
