Musa is one of the best international scoring prospects in the draft, a player that has been able to get buckets in every situation he’s found himself in. He’s a quick, nimble wing that checks in at 6-foot-8, but moves like a guard six inches shorter. He can cross over defenders, step back, or eurostep his way to the rim like a jackrabbit.

Similar to Evans, Musa is capable of creating scoring opportunities for himself or his teammates in the pick-and-roll. He has good vision, and with his physical tools, is able to create passes that smaller wings might not be able to get to. The threat of his jump shot keeps defenses honest as well.

The Jazz could definitely use someone to help space the floor and help them score. With Gobert, they are a strong defensive team, and can create opportunities for runs by getting consecutive stops. With Musa, they have a player that can help them capitalize on defensive stops with 3-pointers or trips to the free throw line.
