Prospect Profile
One of the more underrated NBA Draft prospects entering this season is Haskins, who is set to play at Saint Joseph’s. He has NBA size, is versatile defensively, and can hit catch-and-shoot threes with ease.
Haskins is a 6-foot-9, 185 pound wing who had offers from many schools as he made the leap to college. He played at one of the best schools in the country at Camden, but didn’t get as much media attention due to being the sixth man on a loaded roster. Haskins was impactful on both ends of the floor at that level, stuffing the stat sheet in nearly every category.
Feature Story: An Interview with Dasear Haskins
Perhaps the most important baseline skill in today's NBA is being able to hit catch-and-shoot threes with consistency, which he can do. In addition to being a consistent catch-and-shoot player, Haskins has potential putting the ball on the floor as well. While not currently the most fluid on-ball player, he's shown flashes of attacking closeouts and finishing at the rim.
Another strength of Haskins’ is his on-ball defense. At 6-foot-9 with likely a plus wingspan, lateral quickness, fluid hips, and quick hands, he has the ability to stay with most wings and guards. He projects to be a very versatile on-ball defender, capable of limiting both guards and wings when driving. He hustles and uses his length and athleticism to box out for rebounds on both ends of the floor.
At the high school level, Haskins played alongside some of the best players in the country including DJ Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw. Now, he’ll look to emerge as a star in his own right at Saint Joseph’s.
