Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Haywood Highsmith is a 52-rated small forward at the edge of a rotation, ranked #74 of 77 small forwards in Backcourt.

The game suggests the Sharpshooter role for him — a player who spaces the floor and punishes every defender who helps off him. With three-point (65) and basketball IQ (41), it rates the fit as “Workable”: sound rather than special.

For a small forward, his standout attributes are rebounding (65) and three-point (65), in the top 53% and 56% of small forwards respectively.

The trade-off is mid-range (38), in the bottom 1% of small forwards — his scoring comes from the rim or beyond the arc rather than the middle.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share. His stamina of 44 means his energy drains quickly, so watch the ENR column.

At 29 he is close to his ceiling of 52.

He earns $1.3M a season with a transfer value of $2.6M — fairly priced for his rating.
