2023 NBA Draft Prospect Highlights: Brice Sensabaugh
Overview
Named Florida Mr. Basketball as a senior at Lake Highland Preparatory School, Brice Sensabaugh was a four-star recruit before committing to play for Ohio State. Named Big Ten Conference Freshman of the Week three straight times, Sensabaugh came off the bench for the first eight games of his career before ultimately starting 22 of his 33 appearances. As a starter, he averaged 17.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 50/41/81. That led to the prospect being named to the All-Big Ten Third Team and Freshman Team.
Analysis
Sensabaugh is a big-bodied wing/guard who’s aggressive in his pursuit to score. He’s comfortable breaking opponents down off the dribble for mid-rangers, nailing catch-and-shoot threes and even punishing down smaller defenders in the post. He makes tough shots. Passing wasn’t what he was asked to do at Ohio State, but he’s shown good vision.
Projection
Many sixth men in the NBA are shifty guards, but Sensabaugh could fill that role for an NBA team as a shorter Julius Randle or a bigger Joe Johnson. More focus on playmaking and defense could push him into starter territory. A team lacking an assertive bench scorer could benefit from his skillset.
