The 6'8" wing figures to have a long career ahead thanks to his shooting. He made 2.3 threes per game and connected on 40.3 percent of his attempts from the perimeter.

Whether he's getting open off the ball for catch-and-shoots or pulling up off the dribble, Dick should be a handful for defenders right away when he's firing away from the three-point arc.
