Bleacher Report Draft Expert Jonathan Wasserman's Scouting Report

Player: Grant Riller

Position: PG

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 190 lbs

Pro Comparison: Derrick White

Scouting Report: Grant Riller is the most efficient volume-scoring guard in the class, coming off consecutive seasons averaging 21.9 points on more than 60 percent true shooting. He's more of an undersized scorer than point guard, but a few inches in height shouldn't keep him from continuing to carve up defenses with his advanced shot creation and shot-making.

Charlotte has a crowded backcourt at this point with Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball, but there figures to be a spot for Riller off the bench as a scorer who can provide a spark for stretches.

He is also someone who can create shots for Vernon Carey Jr. as this new group of players develops together for the Hornets.
