Detroit Pistons: 2020 NBA lottery pick mock draft 3.0

Devin Vassell brings strong perimeter play to the table for the San Antonio Spurs, a team who desperately needs more scoring. He shot 41.9 percent from deep last season. He’s often best utilized away from the ball where he’s best able to show off his shooting abilities.

He’s at a comfortable level with his playmaking, and can knock down shots off the dribble if he finds himself in that situation.

There tends to be a lot of moments where he struggles to score once he’s met at the rim. Finishing through contact isn’t one of his strong suits. If he’s able to get a foul call, he’s an average free throw shooter at just 73.8 percent.

Vassell was held in high regard for many months over his silky smooth shooting mechanics, but a few months ago a video surfaced of him working out. In the video, he appeared to be working with a renovated jump shot, one that had a hitch just before release.

This seemed to throw off just about everyone, but time will tell if he’s able to shoot with the same effectiveness.

Ultimately he’s one of the safest picks in this entire draft, and is arguably the best 3 & D player it has to offer. Given San Antonio’s relatively conservative track record, it’s safe to assume that this would be a good fit.
