NBA Draft 2019: Big Board 3.0

After an up-and-down freshman season, Nickeil Alexander-Walker is off to a strong start for a dangerous Virginia Tech team. He’s the perfect complementary guard at the next level, drilling spot-up jumpers, attacking closeouts and possessing ample defensive upside.

Listed at 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-9 wingspan, Alexander-Walker has great length for his position. He can handle either guard spot defensively and use his length to disrupt passing lanes. Through seven games, the sophomore is averaging 2.3 steals per contest.

Now a career 39.8 percent three-point shooter on healthy volume, Alexander-Walker boasts promising mechanics that should translate to the next level. Add in the occasional playmaking foray, and he’s an excellent 3-and-D comboguard for the modern NBA.
