Cassius Stanley displayed some intriguing potential during his lone season at Duke. He averaged 12.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 29 appearances.

Here are some observations about the Pacers' selection with the No. 54 pick:

Cassius Stanley is already accustomed to playing a complementary offensive role. He spent a substantial share of his offensive possessions in spot-up.

Stanley thrives on catch-and-shoot 3P attempts, even against closeouts. He will be a helpful weak-side floor-spacing threat.

The role Cassius Stanley played at Duke didn't call for many shot creation sequences. He showed real limitations in his abilities during those sequences.

Stanley will need to improve at not only creating space for himself but also at executing when he gets to his spot.

In the open court, the explosiveness Cassius Stanley has is often put on display. He has a knack for leaking out in transition and is a legitimate lob threat.

For a team looking to play faster, this is the type of athlete you want to put pressure on the opposition to get back.
