Summary:
Lucas Dias Silva is a versatile offensive player that can do many things on that end of the floor. He can score in a variety of ways, and he is also a fairly good passer and ball handler.
But he will likely need to improve his rebounding and defense, as he must pick up the focus in those elements of the game. Right now, he projects to be a second round pick for the NBA as teams will look at him as a good draft and stash candidate for them in the future.
