Little has quickly established himself as one of the four best prospects in the 2019 class, showing out on the All-Star circuit and, for good measure, cooking Zion Williamson a few times during the McDonald’s All-American game.
At 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan, Little is an elite athlete with excellent defensive tools. He’ll be able to defend three positions, while his motor shines on that side of the ball. He’ll gain lots of traction in an NBA that covets two-way wings.
Offensively, Little is an aggressive slasher who can get to the rim and finish through contract at a high level. He has also flashed considerable upside as a shot-maker at all three levels, though consistency from deep has been a question mark in the past.
On a Tar Heels team that doesn’t get a ton of high-end prospects, Little will carry the load next to Luke Maye. The ACC title might boil down to Duke vs. North Carolina, with significant NBA Draft stakes involved.
