Strength 1: Elite Shooting Ability<\/p>\n
Bilodeau’s shooting numbers immediately stand out. He connected on 46.4 percent of his three-point attempts (No. 1 in the Big Ten) while also converting 87.3 percent of his free throws. Few prospects in this draft range can match that combination of volume, efficiency and shooting touch.<\/p>\n
Strength 2: Regular Improvement<\/p>\n
Four-year seniors often fall in the draft because of a perceived low ceiling. Bilodeau, on the other hand, has improved his three-point percentage every season. He shot 30.0 percent during his freshman year at Oregon State, 34.5 percent as a sophomore, 40.0 percent after transfering to UCLA as a junior, and finally 46.4 percent as a senior. This is a great sign for potential development despite already being 22 years old.<\/p>\n
Strength 3: Offensive Versatility<\/p>\n
Bilodeau can score in a variety of ways. He spaces the floor, attacks closeouts, finishes around the basket and contributes from the midrange. That versatility makes him more difficult to defend than a typical spot-up specialist.<\/p>\n
Strength 4: Size and Skill Combination<\/p>\n
At nearly 6’8″ with a plus wingspan, Bilodeau offers useful frontcourt size alongside perimeter-oriented skills. His frame should allow him to play multiple positions depending on lineup construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Strength 1: Elite Shooting Ability Bilodeau’s shooting numbers immediately stand out.
