Motley averaged 17.3 points, and 9.9 rebounds per game in 2016-17. He is a player that improved each season. He scores near the rim, often on putbacks, due to his excellent nose for the ball. ...His career shooting numbers: 52% FG, 24% 3-pt., and 65% FT. …Motley can be frustrating to watch play because although he is capable of making plays for his teammates he can be careless with his set-ups. For a player with such an obvious ability to see the floor it is troubling that he had more turnovers than assists in all three seasons at Baylor. Motley's DEFRTG was better than the Baylor team DEFRTG. Motley's standing reach is 9'0" (same as Kwame Brown, and Myles Turner). ...We expect Motley to be taken in the mid-second round. We could see him getting some D League reps and possibly playing some small-ball "five" as a reserve. ...Motley is already 22 years-old.

Decent Advice: In 2003, the 49th pick in the NBA Draft was James Jones. We advised, "Draft Kyle Korver."
