UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: SCORING, IN-BETWEEN FORWARD
TJ Buckets: a ‘throwback’ forward w/ a smooth game below the 3-point line; a pure scorer, Warren doubles as an acrobat – excellent body control racing to the rim through rush hour traffic, can twist in for easy floaters and soft lay-ups; deadly from midrange: ft. pull-ups, short Js, runners; times his cuts very well off penetration; has gotten better from behind the arc – Warren has a quick release, can get hot after a couple makes; hard to contain once he gets going; not a set-up man, could benefit from adding an ‘extra pass’ badge; missed 2021-22 season rehabbing foot injury – re-united w/ Suns! (2023) – Warren factors as a true offensive threat for Coach Williams, and could play an X-Factor role en route to a deep postseason run
