I've mentioned this guy's name before, but haven't gotten in-depth on him, yet.

Chandler Hutchinson - 6-7, SF, Senior, Boise State

He's been mentioned as a sleeper for most of the year, but the 44 he dropped on San Diego St last month has raised his profile a bit. He's still projected mid 2nd round, according to nbadraft.net, but then again they have Keita Bates-Diop projected there too.

Check this SI article out: https://www.si.com/nba/2017/12/13/nb...damian-lillard

Cliffs - So, Hutchinson wasn't much to speak of his freshman & sophomore years. Then Boise State hires Damian Lillard's old assistant coach from Weber State, and he works with Hutchinson specifically. Look the difference in his junior & senior #s since Lillard's old coach has gotten there http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...dler-hutchison

Looking at highlights, holy cow this kid can slash to the basket. It's obvious that Beckner (Lillard's old coach) has had him working on his handles. He's a good college shooter, will need to continue to develop at the NBA level. Needs to develop range also. I think every highlight I saw of him taking a 3 he was right up against the college 3 pt line... Wasn't a good shooter as a freshman or sophomore.

He's athletic. Has hops! He also put up 32 vs UNLV this yr & did some work on UNLV's highly-touted freshman center Brandon McCoy, including one blow by dunk that was breathtaking. Very DSJ-esque (not in leaping ability but in terms of speed & quickness). This guy is shifty, very agile, can move his body in traffic like a snake to get around defenders... kinda like his whole body is a Euro-step.

I wish I had better scouting reports on his defense, but with his athleticism, I can't imagine it's a weakness & probably a strength. I don't know if I trust his height as a legit 6-7, maybe 6-7 in shoes or something like that. The quotes in the article are very promising. Apparently Lillard is very impressed with him & his coach thinks he's an NBA first rounder, which wouldn't mean much, but he worked with Lillard & still does every off-season.

Here's a few videos on him:
