BROOKLYN, NY -- Olivier Hanlan went widely unnoticed as the leading scorer of all ACC players. Utah Jazz GM Dennis Lindsey has recognized him by selecting Hanlan with pick 42 in the 2015 NBA Draft. 

The Canada and Boston College product went through three tough season with the Eagles, unable to accrue any sort of success in the monster-packed Atlantic Coast Conference. Hanlan shined in his role as the first option for BC on offense, leading the team in scoring for all three of his years on the roster, never averaging under 15.5 points per game in one of those seasons. 

In 2014-2015, Hanlan showed his final burst at BC, leading the team and conference in scoring with 19.5 points per game on 45.4 percent field goal shooting. Olivier exhibited a rare ability to score at will, and his playmaking and agility aid him in being a very well-rounded offensive prospect. Hanlan's shooting stroke is fundamentally sound, yet has room for improvement. 35.3% from beyond the arc last season is not horrendous, but could be better if Hanlan wants to become a major scorer in this league.

Due to his atheltic ability, agility, and height, Hanlan will probably play as a combo guard, although he may prefer playing a joint two guard-small forward role. Synergy Sports Technology showed that his 68.1% conversion rate at the bucket was fourth-best of the top 100 prospects with at least 90 qualifying shot attempts. 

Hanlan has great court vision, and most of his offensive possessions in college (26.5%) came on the pick-and-roll, which was vital to his success at creating scoring opportunities. When not receiving screens and help, Hanlan struggled to make dribble moves in isolation. However, his superior physicality and agility in changing speeds and directions rapidly has aided him thus far in evading opposing defenders.

While his assist numbers are near-bottom for a starting NCAA guard, Hanlan has strong ability to find teammates and distribute the basketball. At Boston College, Olivier was forced into a role where he took on a shoot-first mentality, and therefore created less chances for his fellow Eagles. 

When unable to get down the lane of drop some dimes, Hanlan settles for mid-range jumpers, one weakness of his game. His conversion rate on the 106 shots he took of that sort was just 29.2%, not something to strive for as a professional athlete. 

On defense, Hanlan hasn't followed the trend of many scorers in being a weak link, as he has very high effort, focus and work levels on D. His lack of length prevents him from bothering offensive players a whole lot, but Olivier is able to stick with the man he is guarding. But sometimes he focuses on his man too much, developing tunnel-vision. This lack of awareness on D enables offenses to take him by surprise with screens and to exploit his trouble running around or through screens.

In the association, Hanlan will have to prove he can handle a complimentary role before he is able to become a primary offensive option on an NBA court.

The 22 year-old combo guard can help shape Utah's future along with Rudy Gobert, Trey Burke, and crew. Once he finds his role as an NBA player, Hanlan could become a very valuable and possibly lethal offensive weapon for any NBA team.

This pick was a very solid one for the Jazz, who already are very stable on D. Now Utah has to work on keeping up a consistent level of play in every phase of the game.
