Scouting Summary
Terrifying edge defender whose high motor makes his presence felt from sideline to sideline. Helped lead his team to a quarterfinal appearance during his junior season. Stands in at 6-foot-5, over 235 pounds with nearly a 6-foot-7 wingspan. Excellent body control and bend for his size. Dominant hooper on the basketball court. Quality run defender. Uses his length to keep his chest clean consistently. Need to see more explosiveness and violence off the ball. Could potentially grow into a 4i if he continues to fill out and add mass. High upside prospect due to frame and overall movement skills. Keen to see if he can maintain his athletic ability as he puts on weight.
NIL Valuation
Depaepe currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $133k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
