Summary:

Mathias Lessort is a very athletic, energetic combination forward that has been very productive in the top French league, which is one of the toughest professional basketball leagues from around the world.

He largely projects into a defensive specialist role, as he has great athletic tools and motor to excel at guarding multiple positions, but he may also be fairly limited offensively from a skill standpoint.  Most likely, Lessort projects to be a second round pick in 2017, as he could end up being a Corie Blount type of player in this league.
