NBA Draft 2019: Big Board 5.0

A high-level athlete, Luguentz Dort pops on screen. He’s strong and explosive, bursting into passing lanes on defense or finishing rim-rocking dunks in transition. He has the physical tools to make an immediate impact in the NBA.

Dort plays hard, and it shows on both ends. Offensively, he’s a relentless slasher who uses quick dribble moves to shake defenders and willingly embraces contact at the rim. He’s also active off-ball, effectively cutting and collecting easy buckets.

On defense, Dort’s penchant for getting into passing lanes and swatting weak-side blocks often leads to transition opportunities on the other end. He’s also an aggressive one-on-one defender, using his 222-pound frame and 6-foot-9 wingspan to lock up multiple positions.
