Summary:
Denzel Mahoney is a strong, physical swingman that played at Southeast Missouri State and Creighton in college basketball.  He is a fairly athletic player that could project into a 3 and D role at higher levels, but he will need to be a more consistent player on both ends of the floor.  Currently, he is a borderline second round candidate in the 2021 draft.
