Gradey Dick 2023 NBA Draft Profile (Combine Results, Measurements and Scouting Report for Sharpshooting Guard)

Updated:

Kansas Jayhawks guard Gradey Dick enters the 2023 NBA Draft as one of the clear-cut top prospects available. Boasting great size, along with incredible athleticism and scoring ability, the potential is there for Dick to make a serious impact at the next level.

Here's everything you need to know about Gradey Dick before the 2023 NBA Draft.

Gradey Dick Scouting Report and Draft Prediction

Gradey Dick only needed one season at Kansas to impress basketball enthusiasts. The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 14.1 points on 44.2% shooting with 5.1 rebounds over 36 games with the Jayhawks. He was also a threat from deep, racking up 83 three-pointers (second-most in Big 12) while shooting 40.3% from beyond the arc.

As promising as Dick is, he does have some areas in his game to improve. For starters, the fact that he's only 204 pounds is concerning, pointing to his likely being bullied by bigger NBA players. Some scouts have also pointed out that his defensive positioning needs work as he sometimes isn't in the right spot to block or contest a shot. Fortunately, these are things that can be improved.

Without having superstar potential, I could see Dick falling to the Dallas Mavericks at No. 10. The Mavericks were one of the best three-point shooting teams last season, and adding Dick to the mix would help that trend continue for years to come. Few players out there are better playmakers than Luka Doncic, too, meaning the Kansas product would be in one of the best landing spots for him.

Prediction: Dallas Mavericks (Round 1, 10th overall)
