Tyler Bilodeau is a right-handed stretch four with a sweet shot. Bilodeau averaged 17.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists while shooting 46.4% from three-point range and 87.3% from the free throw line. He played two seasons at Oregon State before finishing his NCAA career with two seasons at UCLA. At 6'7" with a 7'0.75" wingspan and a 228-pound frame, Bilodeau has the size to be evaluated as a NBA power forward. The shooting is the main attraction. He does a great job getting himself squared up before releasing his jumper, understands how to get open, makes smart cuts, and flashes into open areas of the paint. He can also play the pick-and-pop game well. Bilodeau really looks to get himself going offensively, and that can result in tunnel vision. Last season, he had only 33 assists compared to 40 turnovers. That limits some of the offensive projection beyond shooting and finishing plays. Defensively, Bilodeau’s DDiff was minus-2.4, so there are questions about how well he will hold up on that end. Bilodeau did not do the strength and agility testing at the 2026 NBA Draft Combine while recovering from a knee sprain. We are higher on Bilodeau than most due to the incredibly accurate shooting and because UCLA, under Mick Cronin, plays a grind-it-out, deliberate style. Freed up and playing with better teammates, we think Bilodeau might become even more efficient.
