Glenelg’s Latrelle Sumner-Pickett is a lively 180cm small forward who has emerged as a likely draft selection as a mature-aged talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sumner-Pickett finished the season with a bolt and has most clubs interested in his services as a small forward thanks to his speed and innate goal sense.<\/p>\n

The cousin of Melbourne livewire Kysaiah Pickett<\/a>, Latrelle shares many of the same traits, having high impact per possession and the ability to tear a game open with lower disposal numbers.<\/p>\n

Overlooked for Port Adelaide’s NGA, the mature-aged Sumner-Pickett returned to a high standard of footy this year as part of Glenelg’s program. While he mostly played in the reserves team, it hasn’t prevented most clubs from keeping a keen eye on his development.<\/p>\n

So strong and long has the interest in this South Australian bolter existed that there were even questions over whether he would have been picked up in the Mid-Season Draft if he was eligible.<\/p>\n

In 18 SANFL reserves games, he kicked 32 goals and averaged 12 disposals, bringing high-end speed every game and proving electric and creative as a small forward.<\/p>\n

He managed only three senior games, including a four-goal haul on debut, but there is a strong belief that his upside is sky-high. And for those that weren’t convinced, a four-goal reserves grand final performance provided a clear synopsis of all the skills and athletic traits that have him favourably considered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Where does he land? Don’t be surprised if he rockets into the first round, given his athletic profile suits modern footy, and his rawness and upside could be worth taking a punt on in a weaker draft for a club seeking a point of difference in their front half.<\/p>\n
