Pick: 52nd pick in the second round

Advantages:

1, ball quotient. Tuxi is a player who plays with his brain. He is good at reading games and helps the team rely on his understanding of the game on both offense and defense. Tuxi is calm and quick-thinking, can make the right choices in offense, can also appear in the right position when defending, and rarely make mistakes. While playing selflessly, Tuxi maintains good aggressiveness and can occasionally open up the situation for the team through singles when needed.

2. Offense without the ball. Tuxi mainly scored without the ball. He was always looking for opportunities to cut empty space, with a good sense of position and no fear of physical confrontation. Tuxi's shooting movements are smooth and stable, and he can frequently shoot guns on the outside. Tuxi is tall and can impact the basket to create pressure. Tuxi is creative in dynamic offense, can catch the ball at a fixed point for processing, can also find opportunities in tactics, and is also very influential in converting offenses.

3. Defensive comprehensive. Tuxi is a competitive defender with a sharp response and fast rotation. Tuxi can keep up with his opponent, keep interference, use his outstanding body shape and quick reading to destroy his opponent's offense, and sometimes send out wonderful blocks and steals. Tuxi actively rushes to rebound and always participates in the ball game competition.

Disadvantages:

1. Athletic ability. Tuxi lacks elite athletic ability, which limits his performance on both offense and defense. Tuxi lacks explosive power, has no obvious advantage in running and jumping, is not afraid of confrontation, but is average in strength, and when facing players with better physical conditions, it is difficult to make up for his disadvantages through skills. Tuxi lacks mature one-on-one offensive ability and is unable to create opportunities independently.

2. Mixed but not refined. Tuxi can do a lot of things on both offense and defense, but he has no skills that are absolutely outstanding, which makes him feel weak when he is in a bad state. Tuxi's overall three-point shooting percentage is only about 30%, and his free throw shooting percentage hovers around 70%. He needs to shoot more accurately to become more reliable. Tuxi can play a little misplaced or pass the ball, but he lacks stable ball-handling ability and cannot be a ball-holder. Tuxi is active enough in the defensive end, but due to her physical condition, she is difficult to become a defensive vanguard.

Summary:

Tuxi is a wing with good football business, rich skills and solid defense. It is necessary to clarify the development direction and strengthen various technologies. Tuxi's father was a cricketer, so he played both basketball and cricket since he was a child. Since the age of 15, Tuxi has begun to focus on basketball. In 2020, Tuxi joined the NBA Academy and attracted attention in 2022 for her outstanding performance. In November 2022, Tuxi promised to join NCAA Gonzaga University, but then withdrew his promise to return to his hometown. In 2023, Tuxi joined the NBL Stars program and played for two seasons with the Sydney Kings. In 2025, Tuxi was selected to join the Warriors with the 52nd pick in the second round. Tuxi's golfership helps him adapt to the Warriors' system, can help the team as an off-ball scorer and organizer, and can also contribute some unexpected defensive shots. Cole will like a versatile player like Tuxi. But Tuxi's athleticism will face huge challenges in the NBA, which may affect his ability to use his skills and even find a suitable position. If Tuxi can be more stable in shooting, it will help him become a reliable multi-function wing in the NBA-level game.
