Summary:
Nathan Cayo is an athletic, energetic combo forward that excels at attacking the basket to score the basketball and is also a fairly solid defender. He scored 18 points in his team’s upset win over Kentucky during the 2020-21 season. He will need to extend his shooting range and show that he can play out on the perimeter at the next level, but Cayo’s athleticism and ability to produce could enable him to find a niche role in the NBA.
