LeJuan Watts (G - Washington State)
Measurables: 6-6 233 lbs from Fresno, CA
Years Remaining: 2
Notes: A big physical guard who averaged 13.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg, and 4.4 apg while shooting 42.2% from 3 last year. Very similar skill set to D5 where he can play on the outside and play post-up basketball. He’s a really good passer (25% assist rate) both in space and in post-up opportunities. He’s sneaky athletic with a quick first step off the bounce, although it’s not a huge strength of his game right now. He is a bit of a risk taker (24% turnover rate), but he also had a high usage rate (23.6%), and with development and being surrounded by other playmakers I don’t think this will be an issue. He’s a good catch-and-shoot guy (79th percentile) and really effective as the PBH in the P&R (78th percentile). As for his post-up game, he ranks in the 88th percentile, routinely on film, and makes the correct decision when getting doubles.
Overall Thoughts: If you’re looking for a D5 replacement, this is just about as close as you’re going to get. He can shoot from the outside at a high rate, he can play on or off the ball, he’s effective in the post, and can guard multiple positions on the defensive end of the floor and play the 4-spot if needed. This is a guy that Texas Tech should prioritize and be aggressive in targeting in the portal imo
