NBA ROLE: ALL-AROUND WING

Royce O’Neale: an all-around wing who trends towards defense & hustle - diamond in the rough; made immediate difference as an undrafted rook back in 2017*; sequence defender, always has hands in passing lanes looking to turn mistakes into points; moves the ball well: O’Neale looks for the extra pass, looks to keep the ball in constant motion before considering his own shot most times; not a great scorer OTD, better suited as a slasher; pretty solid spot up shooter, more volume coming from deep? - shot 39% on 4 attempts/game in Year 5; good corner driver, attacks closeouts hard; great defensive complement, can stick 1s-4s; landed w/ Suns (2024) - O’Neale’s a valuable role player who’s best served on a competitive team: connector on both ends

*declared for the draft in 2015 - played in Germany, Spain & Lithuania before making UTA in 2017
