Page updated as of 4/8/2020, scouting report written by Alan Lu.
2017 rankings were finalized on 6/22/2017.

Height: 6-3
Weight: 185
College: UCLA
Classification: Senior
Birthdate: 1/18/1995

Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted

Pros:

Gifted shooter that has a very quick release

Fairly good scorer off the dribble

Very good free throw shooter

Is a threat to score off of screens

Decent playmaker

​Cons:

Can struggle to finish plays in traffic

Lacks an elite first step off the dribble

Needs to improve his rebounding

Needs to improve his defense

Does not collect enough steals or blocks

Only an average athlete at best

Not a true point guard, but is undersized to play the two

Summary:

Bryce Alford is a talented combo guard that may be one of the best shooters in college basketball.  He is an excellent marksman from beyond the arc, and he also can find ways to garner scores in the paint.   He also may be a decent athlete that also can run the point if asked to do so.​

On the other hand, he may be in between positions, as he will need to prove to teams that he can play the point in the NBA, and he may need to improve defensively at the next level.  If he can do these things, he could end up being a solid role player in the league.
