Sneed is a small forward with good size on the wing. He didn’t showcase a specific skill speciality in this eval but was productive all the same.

Sneed’s play here was a great example of different environments showing us different skill sets. He played almost exclusively at the 3 here and was noteworthy with his play. Sneed hit the 3-pointer, 17 footer and was one of the best athletes here in addition to making a great block on Zach Brown (FL-17). At worst, he’s a 3/4 player who can score the ball.

Sneed is a prospect who puts me in the mind of classmate Jailyn Ingram in his production level. Though a bit undersized at the power forward spot that might be where he is most productive longterm. In this eval, we didn’t see the ball skill needed to be effective vs the CP3 arsenal of perimeter threats.

Sneed is an aggressive forward who will drive it hard to the rim.
