Adou Thiero: In-depth Analysis & Comps (Charts & Graph)
Excited to do this one, one of my favorite prospect in this draft. IMO, he's for sure draft riser, I think he'll rise into the top 20 by draft time. Heres my breakdown of Thiero's game using college statistics and his 'Ceiling - best case scenario', data is derived from my computed college percentiles (scales by Per 40) per draft classes.
Comp: Jimmy Butler/Jaime Jaquez
Pros:
- Mid Range Maestro (94th Percentile)
- Elite Slasher (90th+ Percentile in CloseShot/Dunks)
- Proficient Shooter (80th+ Percentile in TS%/eFG%)
- Steal (92th Percentile)
Cons:
- Lack of 3PM (16th Percentile is very LOW), but his 80+ shooting proficiency indicates his 3PT shot isn't entirely unredeemable.

Final thoughts: Thiero's 55 Playmaking Rating indicates he'll have respectable ball handling - creation upside, thus scoring potential there. His athleticism also pops on the eye test truthers. All in all, I think he'll be one of the steal of the draft!
Let me know what ya'll think of these comps, especially whether or not it matches your eye test? Or if there's another comp that comes to mind!
