Hayden Van de Maat: “His impressive physical attributes give every indication that he’ll be a terrific transition player, and his ball handling and rim finishing will allow him to survive offensively in a half court set if his jump shot doesn’t pan out.
On the defensive end, Hutchison has good instincts and reads the passing lanes well. He covers a lot of ground tagging defenders and helping off the three-point line. His physical strength is his biggest weakness defensively, as he seems to give up post position too easily and gets rocked by a lot of screens.”

Zack Padmore: “His defense is absolutely NBA-ready, and he is an insanely good athlete. Frazier also shot 38 percent from three-point land this season, which was a 12 percent improvement from his sophomore year. However, his shooting still needs some work and consistency.
Offensively, he has room for improvement. He has shown his ability to slash and finish in the paint. With that athleticism and speed going to the basket, he should be able to draw fouls and get to the free-throw line.”

Aaron Holiday can really shoot the ball. He should be able to command the attention of NBA defenses as a catch-and-shoot player from the jump. He can also get into the lane and shows great with his body mid-air. His effort jumps out to you on both sides of the ball. That Holiday name is something, too.
Still, he is incredibly small. He’s also pretty rough around the edges outside of that jump shot. Holiday feels like a pendulum player to me — either he’s special or he doesn’t make it. That’s my hot take for the day.
