Regarded as one of the better long-term prospects at Overtime Elite last season, Catchings decommitted from Purdue to land at BYU under new coach Kevin Young. The nephew of longtime WNBA star Tamika Catchings brings an excellent physical profile for a wing at his listed 6-10, and has flashed shotmaking talent and true defensive potential in different settings in which we've seen him.

Catchings is still raw in areas, but teams will be closely tracking his progress under a coaching staff with NBA pedigree. The tools are there for him to emerge as a first-round-caliber player, but teams will want to get a better sense of his development trajectory and timeline in the early going.

The idea is that people think he has the tools and the talent.  Whether or not he is a 1-and-done, 2-and-done (and a 1st round talent vs. a 2nd round talent) is likely dependent on how much and how quickly he develops in the next year or two.

If Catchings develops into a 1st round talent in the 2025 draft, I will take that as a huge W from KY and his staff in being able to sell the ability to develop players into 1st round picks.
