2025 NBA Draft scouting report: Walter Clayton Jr., G, Florida

Summary: Clayton is a fearless shooter with the versatility to take any shot at any moment. But his limitations as a defender hold him back from being an elite prospect.

Comparisons: Ben Gordon, Jordan Clarkson

Strengths

Shooting versatility: There isn’t a shot he isn’t comfortable taking. Firing off handoffs, pulling up over ball screens, rising off-balanced at the end of the clock — it truly doesn’t matter, he can thrive. This season he made 40% of his 3s off the catch and an absurd 37.1% off the dribble.
