Micah Peavy

Micah Peavy was a freshman starter at Texas Tech before transferring to TCU for the next three seasons. He played heavy rotation minutes, primarily coming off the bench as a sophomore and junior, before cracking the starting line-up as a senior and averaging 10.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. TCU went to the NCAA tournament in all three seasons he was in the program.

Peavy is defensive standout. He was TCU’s best on-ball defender and extremely versatile, showing switch-ability throughout the line-up. He plays with a super high motor, competes to the fullest on every possession, and has good wing size that would allow him to slide up the line-up and play some hybrid four (although that rarely happened this year with Emanuel Miller in that spot).

Offensively, he’s at his best when he can get downhill to his dominant right side. He converted 59% of his attempts around the rim this year, which is actually a career low percentage per Pivot Analysis, but that came as a consequence of expanding his game when playing off two feet in the lane. The key variable for Peavy remains his outside shooting. He came into college as a non-shooter, but improved to the point where he was at least capable with room and rhythm this year, albeit at only 31% from behind the arc. If he can become a more consistent outside shooting and continue to develop his overall feel (career 1.6 assists to 1.4 turnovers).

Average size for his skill set, but has good core strength and is a smooth athlete with burst. Expertise is scoring off the dribble inside the arc. Shooting range is limited. Handles ball adequately and is a tough rebounder. Also is a quality and versatile defender. Could become an NBA player with development.
