Vanderbilt is in the process of moving exclusively on the perimeter. He’s shooting 39 percent from the free throw line, 19 percent from 3 but still at 48 percent from the field. Right now, he is most effective inside of 15 feet and is an elite prospect in the country in that regard. He’s even a high level passer in that way. His EYBL numbers of 13.5 points, 10.9 rebounds per with 3.7 assists support that. He is averaging 3.9 turnovers a game which offsets his high assist number.
