Summary: Saunders is a hard-nosed, two-way wing who plays with manic energy, hustling around the floor hunting for steals on defense and jumpers on offense. He’s got a quick trigger, soft touch on floaters, and a feel for moving the ball. But with less than ideal size and athleticism, he’s capped as a gritty role guy, not a go-to creator.
Comparisons: Danny Ainge, Wesley Matthews
Strengths
Shooting versatility: With a high and lightning-quick shooting release, Saunders looks the part of an NBA shooter. He can shoot off of movement as well, where he shows a good feel for using screens and relocating into soft spots of the defense.
