Extra Notes:

Mario Saint-Supery is a guard with no major flaws and a highly reliable, all around skill set. He’s strong in every aspect of the game and already projects as a first team level lockdown defender, playing with exceptional discipline and consistency on that end. Offensively, he’s an extremely skilled playmaker who runs an offense with poise, rarely turns the ball over, and consistently makes the right play. Though naturally passive as a scorer, he possesses the offensive tools to become far more aggressive. If he embraces that ability, he has the upside to develop into a Manu Ginóbili type of player. Overall, he projects as a high impact rotational guard and a safe, solid second round pick with significant upside, especially if he continues to develop his scoring assertiveness and shot creation.
