Pryor as a prospect
Having seen Pryor in person, he’s a very high-ceiling prospect that was among the most athletic wing prospects in the country in the 2024 cycle. He can finish well above the rim, and has a developing game off the bounce. His high-end length with his quickness, agility, high-flying vertical ability and wingspan provide the opportunity to be a difference maker defender at the high-major level.
