Strength 1: Playmaking Vision
Copeland’s 6.5 assists per game ranked No. 12 in the nation and reflect one of the best passing profiles among guards. He sees the floor well, delivers creative passes and consistently creates opportunities for teammates. His ability to facilitate offense is one of the foundations of his NBA appeal.
Strength 2: Positional Size
At 6’6″, 220 pounds, Copeland has excellent size for a guard. He can see over smaller defenders, absorb contact and potentially defend multiple backcourt positions.
Strength 3: Improved Shooting
One of the biggest developments in Copeland’s game was his perimeter shooting. After entering college with questions about his jumper, he connected on 39.7 percent of his threes this past season after shooting just 11.1 percent as a freshman, 25.0 percent as a sophomore and 15.4 percent as a junior. That progress significantly strengthens his NBA outlook both today and for the future, as it indicates he may not be as close to his ceiling as other four-year prospects.
