Draft Sites Say

Jonathan Givony, ESPN

"“He’s a versatile guard who brings toughness and aggressiveness on both ends of the floor, as well as deep range from beyond the arc. The fact that he doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be successful is attractive on a roster with quite a bit of playmaking prowess already in place.”"

Kevin O’Connor, The Ringer

"Dynamic shooter off the catch with NBA range, though he’s streaky due to his inconsistent mechanics. He’s agile changing directions and uses different tempos to compensate for his lack of an elite first step or top gear. Effective shooter off the dribble. He often side-steps while gliding to his left to create space. . . . Subpar length limits him as a versatile defender, as he gets overpowered by larger players and beaten by quicker ones. Hasn’t displayed the ability to drain shots off screens. Subpar free throw shooter."

Matthew Harvey, NBADraft.net

"DiVincenzo can score at will, play D, and he is very athletic and a team oriented player … He scored 10 or more points in four of their six games during the postseason, including a team high 31 off the bench against Michigan in the title game … DiVincenzo is a top tier athlete with a legitimate vertical to go along with his solid frame and size . . . At Villanova, he was never a full-time starter and occasionally his minutes varied … He was never fully exposed to opponent’s game planning, benefitting from a championship level team around him … At times, his shooting became a bit streaky and he went into slumps, which is normal for players."
