The first Mongolian player bets for the 2023 NBA Draft www.news.mn
The first Mongolian player who will ever see the floor for a D1 team, Sh.Enkhiin-Od is one of the low-floor, high-ceiling bets of the 2023 NBA Draft.
Sharavjamts was measured at a quarter of an inch shy of 6-foot-9 at the Nike Hoop Summit, with an 8-foot-8 standing reach. The measurements are certainly intriguing for someone with the potential to shoot from the perimeter and run your offense on a primary level.
The Dayton prospect’s main passing skill is being extremely quick to recognize advantages and having the technique and accuracy to find teammates with advanced passing deliveries. This allows him to be a solid decision maker off screens and make plays as a pick-and-roll handler, where his size allows him to pass over smaller defenders.
Beyond his off-ball ability as a floor-spacer, Sh.Enkhiin-Od also adds value as an on-ball creator for teammates and was tasked with initiating the offense as a high school senior at International Sports Academy.
While he has great height, he needs to get much stronger and put on weight as he’s currently only 182 pounds. This lack of strength is noticeable on tape when he tries to play through contact on both ends of the floor, as he was generally unable to create separation out of physicality as a driver, relying on getting foul calls.
Sharavjamts is someone who shoots spot-up jumpers at an elite clip and is able to contribute offensively by making plays for others with the ball in his hands. Considering his current woes as a finisher, defender and his lack of an NBA ready body, he is clearly not an NBA player right now.
However, there is enough indicators in his game that you can’t help but ask a number of questions about his future as a potential NBA talent down the road as a project.
After committing to the Dayton Flyers, Sh.Enkhiin-Od, will be the first Mongolian player to ever see the floor for an NCAA D1 team once the college season rolls around.
