Looking Forward
Ivey is outside of most Top 3’s, but is typically at the Number Four spot. Early in the season there were questions about his ball handling ability but he’s increased his willingness to create off of the bounce. He’s a lethal shooter from deep and has scary physical ability. He’ll need to show his left a bit more but he’s compensated for that by applying serious rim pressure. A guard that has the athletic profile of Ivey will be difficult for teams to pass on.
