Summary:
Riley Kugel is an athletic, skilled swingman that can shoot and score the basketball. He’ll need to improve his court vision and playmaking skills, and he’ll need to show that he can guard upper-echelon opponents on a consistent basis. Still, his solid blend of athleticism and shot making ability could make him an option for NBA teams to consider in the second round range of the 2023 draft.
