Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 71.55 (Roster depth)
Pro Comparison: Austin Corbett
Summary
Luke Kandra is a tall, well-built guard prospect with good length and a strong blend of size and mobility. His burst and fluidity stand out, making him an above-average athlete for the position. While not an overpowering mauler, he moves well laterally on stretch plays and can sustain blocks in space. Kandra’s hand placement needs refinement, as he often lands outside the frame, and he relies more on finesse than raw power. He is assignment-sound and reacts well to stunts. With his athleticism and size, he’s a good fit for a scheme focused on movement but needs to improve his lower-body strength, knee bend and pad level to reach his full potential.
