Updated on 7/1/23.  Written by Alan Lu.
2022 Rankings were finalized on 6/23/22.

Height: 6-7
Weight: 210
College: Utah State
Classification: Fifth-Year Senior
Birthdate: 11/17/1996

Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted

Pros:

Decent shooter
Adequate scorer off the dribble
Can post up smaller players
Excels at scoring on off-ball motion plays
Adequate playmaker
Good rebounder
Decent defender that can get steals
Solid athlete
Good motor

Cons:

Just now is a good shooter
Lacks an elite first step off the dribble
Not an elite ball handler
Can be careless on offense, which can lead to turnovers
Struggles to guard quicker players
Limited experience against top competition

Summary:

Justin Bean is a very productive, high-motor combo forward that has been a stat stuffer at Utah State.  He is a high-motor player that will score on hustle plays, and he has shown an improved jump shot lately.  He is a terrific rebounder for his size, and he will really get after it on the glass.  On the other hand, he’s not a great athlete, and he can really struggle to make plays against more athletic opponents.  Currently, he may be a long shot to be drafted, but his strong production in college basketball could give him a shot to make it to the NBA someday.
