Welsh showed he could extend defenses with his three-point shooting,. He hit 40.2% 3-pt. FG in 2017-18. He made 82.8% at the free throw line. ...He takes good care of the ball, and he finished his career with more assists than turnovers. ...He is good as a defensive rebounder. ...UCLA was 3.0 points per 100 possessions better on defense with Welsh on the floor. ...We doubt he will be drafted but he is a skilled BIG that is a better player than he is given credit for being.

 

Good Advice: In 2010, the 25th pick in the NBA Draft was Dominique Jones. We advised, "Draft Hassan Whiteside."
