UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: CREATIVE, PLAYMAKING TWO-GUARD
Josh Christopher is a perfect prospect to monitor: confident, shot-creating wing with a dope style offensively; has his own way of going about things w/ the ball in his hands: Christopher has a nice handle, stays patient but can break his man down and get buckets without over exerting; likes pull-ups Js and step backs, uses excellent frame and dribbling ability to make room; underrated passer, looks to make a play for his teammates after penetrating, knows how to deliver passes on target; nice upside as a defender: racks up a ton of steals, slides feet well and tries to blanket opponents on the perimeter by using physicality; needs to continue working on scoring w/ efficiency, long-range shooting and defensive upside; landed w/ Jazz (2023) - on a 2Way deal, Christopher is looking to take hold of a permanent spot in 2024?
SIGNATURE! COMING SOON.
