Heading into his final year of eligibility, Hunter Sallis looks to make one last push to be selected in the first round.
Upperclassmen leap up draft boards every year leading up to the NBA draft. This season, one of the most coveted players will be Wake Forest’s Hunter Sallis. Whether he is selected in the lottery or picked up by a contending team later, his value is very high, and after one more year of improvement, the sky's the limit.
Transferring from Gonzaga to Wake Forest helped Sallis evolve from a limited role player into a member of the First Team All-ACC. His offense exploded as he became dangerous from all three levels, shooting efficiently with 48%/40%/78% splits. Since his shooting did not develop until he was an upperclassman, Sallis will more than likely need to carry over this efficiency to secure a highly coveted first-round selection.
His ball-handling is tight, and he uses a variety of moves to consistently get to his spots. Last season, Sallis was deadly on step-back threes and created space in the mid-range for pull-ups. His scoring versatility is a major factor that makes him a tantalizing draft prospect, but his playmaking could also allow him to expand his role at the next level. As the clear first option for Wake Forest last season, he averaged just over two assists per game.
