Nassir Little, North Carolina and the Challenge of Scouting Context
Posted Nov 30, 2018
It would be easy to pile on Nassir Little and question his lofty reputation after he managed just four points on 1-of-5 shooting against Michigan. But after playing just 49% of minutes through seven games, Little has been tricky to assess due to the context of his environment. “He’s a bit scary, for sure,” says one executive. Little’s playing time is less than befitting of a lottery pick.
