While generating draft buzz in the 2023 cycle, Alexander returned to school to improve his all-around game. Has it been enough to warrant a first-round selection? Find out below.
I recently created a model that makes similarity scores for every single college player since 2007-08 (minus physical attributes), and the most consistent comparison (93% similarity) for Alexander is Terry Rozier.
Would you consider that an apt comparison, despite Alexander being taller?
In terms of scoring creativity I like that comparison. However, compared to Rozier, Alexander wins the playmaking battle while projecting to be a better defender. But in terms of how NBA teams will use Alexander, that comparison is the best one I've seen so far.
Great work here once again, Ersin!

Thank you, Jacob!
