Scouting Report: Hood-Schifino intrigued scouts with 6'6" size for a lead ball-handler, a dangerous pull-up game and flashy passing. Low three-point volume and poor finishing are the main concerns.

Hood-Schifino was excellent as a freshman, averaging 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 41.7 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three. He was second on the Hoosiers in scoring and took over playmaking duties when Xavier Johnson was injured in January.

He helped lead Indiana to a 23-12 record, though the team bowed out in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

His size, versatility, midrange game and defense make him an intriguing prospect, and if he continues to improve his perimeter shooting, he should have a long and successful career as a role player.
