- The Mountain West Conference player of the year, Roddy emerged as a potential All-American and one of the most versatile and unique college players as a junior. At 6-foot-6, he sees quite a few minutes at center, which he can thrive at thanks to his 260-pound frame. While he's comfortable operating with his back to the basket, he's also a creative ball-handler and outstanding passer who is converting 45% of his 3-pointers on the season, making him a huge mismatch that has lit up mid-major and high-major teams alike. While Roddy is competitive with excellent instincts, his lateral quickness and ultimate position defensively at the NBA level is something scouts will want to gather more information about in the NCAA tournament. He has a great opportunity to solidify his standing versus a Big Ten team in Michigan and then a potential showdown with Tennessee, one of the best defensive teams in college basketball in the Round of 32. -- Jonathan Givony
Feb. 14, 2022: Although you can't miss his 6-6, 260-pound frame, 20-year-old junior David Roddy has been hiding out in the Mountain West Conference and hasn't quite received the type of NBA buzz you'd expect given his productivity and efficiency on a 19-3 Colorado State team. Roddy is no mystery prospect among true college basketball die-hards, as he's a three-year starter as the leader of a strong Rams program. Yet given his thick frame that resembles a late-career Charles Barkley along with his unique skill set for his body type, he's a prospect NBA front offices are bound to be divided on and confused by. You don't see many 260-pounders who move like he does with his skill set, which is likely to lead to questions like: Who does he guard? What position is he? Can he maintain his conditioning? Will his production translate?
Diving into his film and watching him live in Reno against Nevada, his combination of shooting touch, ball handling, vision, competitiveness, and agility really stood out, looking to me like a true first-round caliber prospect as a small-ball 4/5. Simply put, Roddy is a basketball player, and a really good one at that.
Just eight players since 2000 have averaged at least 19 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block like Roddy is this season, and only three have ever reached those marks with a true shooting percentage over 65% -- Grant Williams (2019), Larry Johnson (1991) and Roddy. While 25% of his offense comes out of the post, most of his game is translatable, as the Rams use him somewhat like Duke uses Paolo Banchero, giving him freedom to create in transition, as a pick-and-roll ball handler, and out of the mid-post. After making just 20% of his 3s as a freshman and 29% as a sophomore, Roddy now ranks in the top-10 in jump shot efficiency as a junior and is drilling 47% of his triples on 74 attempts. He can even toss in stepback 3s or mid-post turnarounds on occasion. He's a sturdy ball handler, an impressive off-the-dribble passer, ultra-competitive and an underrated leaper - he held several football scholarships to play quarterback and was also a track and field standout.
Scouts will surely debate who he defends with his body type and perceived lack of foot speed, even with a 7-0 wingspan at his disposal and the frame to battle some 5s on the interior. But having watched Roddy both in shootaround and during live action, he's intense, vocal, and understands the scouting report with the type of approach to help him maximize his potential defensively. Scouts would be wise to think outside the box with the oversized yet vertically-challenged Roddy and get past his thick frame and the level of competition. On his best nights, he looks like a cross between Grant Williams and Talen Horton-Tucker, which is more than worthy of a 1st round selection. Roddy is one of the mid-major prospects teams we will be following closely through the NCAA tournament, hoping to see him against a high-ranking prospect or stout defense to better gauge how his game will translate to the NBA. -- Mike Schmitz

Big boy got handles. Could definitely use a shot creator on the squad! Will miss Melton tho 😭
Man Melton was getting hot. I had high hopes for him next year
He just needs to lose weight and work on conditioning and he’ll be an elite microwave scorer and playmaker.
@@rickydornberger4771 nal as long as he conditions he ain't gotta lose weight. He ain't playing 40mins per game. Our 1st 2 picks were about playoffs. We gotta be able to punish people on the boards without Adams when teams go small in the playoffs. Both guys give us the ability to play big when teams go small ball & they both can knock down shots. That would have been big for us vs the Warriors & Wolves. We might have the most versatile front court in the NBA.
@@rickydornberger4771 he ain’t fat. I’m fine with him manhandling Chet Holmgren
@@ceejordan9649 facts. i love slo-mo and melt but imagine during those cold stretches against Minny, we had Roddy or Laravia creating out of the post and knocking down the 3. need to see them active on D but i like all 3 picks we made
He’s gonna fit in perfectly I can already see all the other guys talking shit after he dunks on someone
Man has handles
Wtf Has the weight of a Center Plays the 4 defense of a Wing Shot like a Shooting Guards and had the dribble and IQ of a point Guard
This is a steal, 2-4 with a clip and handles and heart. Him n brooks on the wings is tough
He's so much of a threat to go inside that it would definitely open up things for the rest of his teammates, with that ability he's also able to get defenders to play too aggressive, leading to Roddy getting trips at the foul line
Gonna miss Melton though
Good trade for the Grizz.
welcome to memphis
Come to Denver, David Roddy. We've had Paul Millsap who was a former football player, too.
We got the Joker and Cousins. One of my future favourite NBA stars you will be I hope. Stay healthy and keep on improving.
Ain't no stoppin' us now (Nuggets)!
Yea Raptors need to select him. Will be a good pickup
David roddy baby Charles Barkley
This dude is SPECIAL. Just found out about him on tiktok
Welcome to Philly! 🏀🔔 #SixersNation
He’s with grizzlies
@@exotic_t I thought the Sixers, didn't know they traded their pick
@@terrygindrow155 yeah
I love how he can play in the post. He would be a top 10 pick if he was 5 inches taller. Why can’t 6’10 dudes play in the post like this today?!
Welcome to 76ers ❤️💙🤍
😂😂😂
Yeah
Memphis Grizzlies🔵🟡⚪️🐻
23rd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft
If James Harden was a PF
I wouldn't want to take a charge from him!
Welcome to memphis
Big bag... Suitcase!
Lakers will buy a 2nd round pick and it will be this guy.
yessir. Roddy in my top 5 candidates. Lakers got the 35th and he's projected around that.
Who just came here after the draft? 🙋🏼♂️
Me lol
Welcome to the dark side
early 2nd round pick
GRIZZLIES 💯
This take didn’t age well
Will miss Melton, but ROCKY Roddy's, added powers and size, his foot workshop skills, and ball handles, smooth jump shots, and power skills, will be greatly appreciated..! :As the best tests for beastly seasoned Grizzlies, and NBA'S next, "bad news" Bears😉👌💥Y E P!⚠️
💥Beal St. Blues
🏩🛣🏞🛑🐾🔚👣🥵👐🤒👐😳👐 🙌🤣🐾🚜
🚘✌️😉💥Beware of beastly Bears"
GggRrowl💥💥💥💥 🕳🐾🌲🐾🌲🐾🌲
Who else here after the sixers picked him?
Barkley 2.0, with a better jumper.
😂😂😂😂
PJ Tucker
Ceiling Barkley floor tucker
Man I thought of that too. If he Rebounds like him that would be a great Comp.
Barkley??? (Sigh) Oh, children these days…
Plays like a 6’6 FVV
san diego st beat them three times.
Dylan Brooks 2.0
Crazy now he playin with Dillon
Not growing anymore past this stage. Wings will blow past him on the edge, 3s with length will shoot over him all day and swat shots when he tries to bully ball down low, which will be his only option with his speed. Has the bulk of a 4, but at least 3 inches too short even with the wingspan to match the position. Outside of the MWC, I don't see this working out.
Everyone he’s scoring on is taller than him ??? He will be fine! Just gotta keep working !!!
he’s been scoring very consistently so far , but season hasn’t started yet so we will see
