2025 NBA Draft scouting report: Javon Small, G, West Virginia
For a two-round mock draft and a big board with full scouting reports, check out my NBA Draft Guide. Javon Small, G, West Virginia Height: 6-1 • Weight: 190 • Class: Senior • Age: 22 Summary: Small is an undersized guard who plays bigger than his body thanks to his excellent athleticism and gritty nature. He's a knockdown shooter off the catch and a solid lead guard, though his lack of size puts a natural cap on his upside. Advertisement Comparisons: Terry Rozier Strengths Shooting: Small has elite touch from the line at 87.1% in four college seasons. As an upperclassman, he figured out his jumper, making 42.5% of his catch-and-shoot 3s. Playmaking: Demonstrates solid vision and decision-making in pick-and-roll situations, improving each year in college to become a steady hand running an offense. Athleticism: Small plays bigger than his body, often finding himself above the rim on the break or off cuts in the half court. He logged 14 dunks as a senior and finished 56.6% of his layups. Defense: Small is a pest on defense who frequently gets his hands in the passing lanes, including in clutch moments. But at his stature he could become a target. Concerns Shooting off the dribble: Small made 32.1% of his dribble jumpers as a senior, which is pretty consistent with his production throughout college. Because of his size, his shots are more easily contested. Size: Small is in the name. He'll get picked on defensively.
