Jacob Groves

Updated on 12/14/22.  Written by Alan Lu.

Height: 6-9
Weight: 216
College: Oklahoma
Classification: Senior
Birthdate: 4/5/2001

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Decent shooter
Adequate scorer off the dribble
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate playmaker for his size
Good size to play multiple positions

Cons:

Just now is a good shooter
Needs to improve his free throw shooting
Lacks an elite first step off the dribble
Too passive on offense
Needs to improve his rebounding
Only an average athlete

Summary:

Jacob Groves is a mobile, skilled swingman that can shoot and score the basketball. He is only just recently a good outside shooter at the collegiate level, so he will need to prove that he can consistently shoot and defend upper-echelon opponents on a consistent basis, as well as to show that his hot start is not a fluke. Currently, he projects to be a borderline second round candidate for the 2023 draft.
