Offense: PROS AND CONS
Defensive: PROS AND CONS
Overall:
Paolo is an elite prospect that possesses few weaknesses in his game, especially at the offensive end.
There is very little he is not capable of doing on the court. For that reason, it no joke that he is one of
the top 3 picks of the NBA draft, and many NBA fans believe that he is #1, especially after his efficient
and great season at Duke. Overall, he is a good athlete, well coordinated, he has great mobility, and he
elevates well at the rim with good timing and body control. Additionally, he can easily score on all
three levels, he possesses good footwork as well. Paolo is also an elite scorer and very efficient on the
offensive end, but at the right times he is unselfish and a team player.
