Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Deandre Baker
Summary
Colton Hood has the top-end speed and hip fluidity to function in both man and zone. At times, he gets overly handsy and lacks the calm control that defines elite corners. He projects as an immediate starter, but how high he ultimately ascends may depend on his development.
