QUINCY ACY (PHX)
#13•Q. ACY
F • 6’7, 240 lbs; 7th year, Baylor
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: SCRAPPY STRETCH 4
Quincy Acy, a hard-nosed power forward outta Baylor, has a never-ending battery pack (non-stop motor, rarely gives up on plays); let’s get things straight: Acy isn’t here to make friends – not afraid to take a hard foul or scratch & claw for 50/50 balls; spends time at the 4 & 5, offense mainly involves powerful hooks, athletic two-handers & open triples; Acy now boasts a respectable long-range J (has to work on a quicker release, however) – even more consistency would do wonders for his game; journeyman: makes a living as a rare, stretch four/banger

F • 6’8, 235 lbs; 8th year, Duke
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: UTILITY FORWARD
A utility forward outta Duke, Lance Thomas has emerged as a hustle guy w/ skill – shot 40% from downtown the past couple years; not necessarily a stopper but is a safety net – defends to his best ability, works hard v. stronger opponents; very high motor – embraces his role as ‘energy guy’; extending his range has given Lance new life – Thomas can slot in most lineups since his shot has caught up to his activity; hidden gem in New York

UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: COMBO GUARD
A four-year guy at Wichita State, Ron Baker made the Knicks as an undrafted free agent in 2016; combo guard in the league? – Baker’s a decent shot creator capable of making things happen when aggressive; tough on both ends: Baker is built well (at 6’4, 220), anticipates and predicts defensive action; needs to discover his true NBA role – must master PnR, shooting off-ball; basketball IQ & toughness has gotten Baker some early PT but an improved outside J (and in-between game) would boost his value over time

#0•T. WILLIAMS
G/F • 6’7, 218 lbs; 3rd year, Indiana
UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: (RAW) TWO-WAY WING
An undrafted swingman outta IU, Troy Williams is a well-rounded athlete and shooter; not only can Williams knock down clean looks (semi-slow release but confident spotting up from anywhere on the floor), he’ll rise up and bash on you if there’s enough driving room; likes operating w/ the rock in his hands, needs to value possessions a bit better while learning how to attack without losing control; still carving out NBA identity: niche as a pure scorer or 3&D?; on 2Way deal w/ Kings - chance to earn minutes (& develop) on the wing in Sacramento

UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: SHOT-CREATING PG
A fast-twitch PG undrafted outta Texas, ATL’s Isaiah Taylor is pretty adept at generating shots; promising floor game: very quick playmaker who gets where he needs to go – long strides: Taylor only needs a dribble or two get all the way in and later convert; uses speed very effectively, will change direction or push pace depending on game flow; streaky outside shooter, needs to work on quicker mechanics; goes hard at close outs, very creative w/ reverses & scoops – will finish even better after adding upper body strength; needs to improve float game, defensive awareness; X-Factor in 2019?
