Summary:
Jaedon LeDee is a strong, mobile big man that is having a very good season at San Diego State this year. He’s the epitome of a late bloomer, as he is just now putting his skills all together, and his production is way up compared to how he performed in previous seasons. He is a strong low post scorer that plays with physicality, and he can bully opponents to score in the block.
On the other hand, it’s unclear how well he’d make the transition to play in the NBA, as he doesn’t take a lot of outside shots nor pass very often, and is only an average athlete, with the exception that he has great strength. Still, it’s hard to deny that LeDee is playing very well this year, and he is a borderline second round candidate that could end up making his way to the NBA someday.
