SG • 6’5, 220 lbs; 2nd year, Arizona
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) ATHLETIC WING
A mighty athlete on the wing, Rawle Alkins doesn't struggle w/ the physicality of the league; very strong upper body, able to body up defenders before scoring (good finisher w/ his left); bully* ball: Alkins can take advantage of smaller opponents by finishing thru (or over) them at the basket; raw outside shooter - (slow-ish) push shot, accuracy is predicated upon confidence & rhythm; any PnR playmaking responsibilities in the near future? - size could give CHI additional element to exploit in backcourt; adding counters OTD & defining himself as a capable on-ball defender are early goals in the league; surprisingly went undrafted, scooped up by Chicago on 2Way deal - must work on role player tendencies (rebounding, contributing in short doses, etc.) to get noticed in the rotation
*landed in the right spot?
