Summary:
Darius Days is a strong, mobile forward that could project into a 3 and D type of role in the NBA. He has good size and strength that allows him to finish plays in the paint to score, and he can occasionally knock down some spot-up threes. He also can get steals and deflections for his team defensively.
He is currently having a solid junior season, and he is shooting the ball well, and but he will also need to improve his playmaking and defensive skills. Right now, he may project to be a borderline second round prospect for the 2021 draft.
