To make it in the NBA players need to have either elite skill or athleticism. Nassir Little brings elite athleticism and size at the wing that will make him a potentially high level defender in the NBA. Some have even compared him to a previous boom/bust candidate a few years ago: Kawhi Leonard.

Nassir Little only played 18 minutes a game as a freshman at North Carolina while coming off the bench.
