Hunter Sallis, G, Wake Forest
Height: 6-5 • Weight: 185 • Class: Senior • Age: 22
Summary: Sallis is a poised, efficient scorer with body control, defensive tenacity, and the passing feel to hint at more upside. If the jumper proves real, he could play a much larger offensive role than his current projection.

Comparisons: Donte DiVincenzo
Strengths
Shot creation: Slippery ball-handler who is quick but also knows how to deceive opponents with head and ball fakes. He can decelerate, stop on a dime for pull-ups in the paint, or use half-spins to get to the rim. He always looks like he’s in control.
At-rim finishing: Gorgeous paint scorer with soft touch from any angle off either foot. He can dunk when given space to elevate, but primarily uses his finesse to score around the rim. Even when facing lengthy defenders he’s shown the ability to hang in the air and absorb contact to still score.
Passing: Selfless passer who makes decisive decisions with the ball. Coming off handoffs, he’ll read the floor then put velocity on the ball to a roller. He loves to throw lobs. He’s also so comfortable throwing cross-court bullseye passes.

Cutting: Active off the ball, showing an awareness to fill space in transition, cut to the basket in the half court, and relocate for open 3s.
Defense: Super active on-ball defender who shows good footwork fighting around screens and staying in front of opponents. His strong hand-eye coordination allows him to consistently swipe at balls and contest shots.
Concerns
Shooting: He made only 33.3% of his 3s in four college seasons. He lacks experience and success shooting off movement, and he has a bit of a slow release. But the flashes are impressive: He made 52.3% of midrange pull-ups this season, per Synergy.

Strength: Needs to get stronger to improve his defensive floor. As it is, he’ll get overpowered by some of the heavier elite athletes in the league.
