Summary:
P.J. Savoy is a skilled swingman that can really shoot the basketball, and he is a sharpshooter that can make plenty of threes from long distance. He has a lot of range on his shot, and he also can score on off-ball motion plays.
On the downside, he will need to improve in the other facets of the game, but if he has a solid senior season, he could project into a shooting specialist role in the NBA.
