2025 NBA Draft scouting report: Cedric Coward, G, Washington State
Nov 21, 2024; Spokane, Washington, USA; Washington State Cougars guard Cedric Coward (0) controls the ball against the Eastern Washington Eagles in the second half at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena. Mandatory Credit: James Snook-Imagn Images For a two-round mock draft and a big board with full scouting reports, check out my NBA Draft Guide. Cedric Coward, G, Washington State Height: 6-6 • Weight: 215 • Class: Senior • Age: 21 Summary: Coward has gone from a Division III player to a potential first-round pick in just a few years behind his rapid development into a prospect with a valued 3-and-D skill-set. But he brings even higher upside thanks to his passing vision. Advertisement Comparisons: Kawhi Leonard, Dorian Finney-Smith Strengths Athleticism: Coward has ideal size for a wing with broad shoulders and long arms. Though he needs to add muscle, he has a frame to grow into. And he plays strong with his ability to absorb contact, fight through screens, and crash the boards at an elite level for his size. Shooting: Made 38.8% of his 3s in three Division I college seasons, which includes 40.6% on catch-and-shoot 3s. Most of his attempts come off of basic spot-ups, but he shows smooth footwork off movement, plus flashes touch as a midrange scorer which hints at off-the-dribble 3-point shooting upside. Advertisement Interior scoring: Coward played in the post a lot in college, where he displayed his dexterity scoring against contact. These skills translate when he's attacking from the perimeter too, whether he's driving by a closeout or looking for cutting chances. Basketball IQ: He plays within himself. He knows his role. He'll relocate off-ball, look for cutting chances, and do all the little things that satisfy a head coach. Passing: He puts great zip on passes and delivers an accurate ball, whether it's cross-court kickouts or entry passes into a big man with positioning under the rim. He may not end up a primary creator, but at a minimum he looks like a reliable connective piece who can run some secondary actions too. Advertisement Defense: Super versatile defender with the lateral quickness to stay in front of guards plus the length and toughness to handle some bigger wings. His great length and energetic approach mean his hands alter shots and get in the passing lanes on a frequent basis. Concerns Experience level: His season ended after six games because of a shoulder injury that he suffered at practice, which included an articular cartilage tear, a jagged rotator cuff, and a partially torn labrum. Which means there's not much of a sample of him facing high-level competition. Strength: He needs to get stronger to maximize his versatility on defense at the next level. He weighed only 206 pounds in college. Shot creation: He picks up his dribble far too often, and his handle is fairly rudimentary.

Michigan Legend Charles Woodson's Son Cracks National Recruit Rankings for 2027
Charles Woodson won the Heisman Trophy in 1997 on the strength of his three-way play on offense, defense and special teams. The Ohio native led Michigan to a share of the 1997 National Championship as Lloyd Carr's team knocked off Ryan Leaf and the Washington State Cougars in the 1998 Rose Bowl. Advertisement On Thursday, Woodson's son was given recognition as part of the Class of 2027 from cinching the Lake Nona High School star from Orlando, Florida's standing as a prospect to watch in the near future. Charles Woodson speaks at Super Bowl LIX in February. © Kirby Lee-Imagn Images "A very noteworthy entry into today's 2027 Top247? @2Charleswoodson," Steve Lorenz of 247 Sports wrote on Wednesday, tagging Charles Woodson, Jr., the son of Charles Woodson. "He's the son not going to believe it, @CharlesWoodson." Woodson, Jr. is now ranked as a four-star prospect by Lorenz's website after years flying under the radar. The talented young Class of 2027 prospect is ranked 244th among all players nationally, 23rd among safety prospects. Advertisement His famous father has filled in as a coach this season at Lake Nona, lending his expertise to his son's team. Michigan does not currently have any players in its 2027 class but Woodson Jr. has camped in Ann Arbor the last two summers. Woodson, Jr. received his first major college offer from Syracuse coach Fran Brown earlier this year. Related: Michigan QB Mikey Keene Makes Statement on Availability After Spring Game Absence
