Weaknesses

While Ramsey can certainly bend opposing defenses with his remarkable shooting ability, his total offensive skill set is currently incomplete at this stage.

That certainly shows in Ramsey’s deficiencies in being able to penetrate the paint and finish at the cup, which is hampered by the lack of explosion he possesses when navigating in traffic. Furthermore, Ramsey’s attacking concerns are made worse by the fact that he doesn’t get to the free throw line all that often.

Per Hoop-Math, Ramsey converted just 52.5 percent of his scoring opportunities at the rim and he averaged 3.7 free throw attempts as a freshman this year where he connected such attempts at 64.1 percent.

As a result, that leaves Ramsey creating more mid-range shots and long 2s than all NBA teams would like to see him take, especially as it relates to any role he carves out at the next level. And Ramsey’s proclivities to try and create shots in isolation further exacerbates that.

Ramsey’s creation skills are pretty much limited to himself at this stage judging by his raw assist numbers and the 1.11 assist-to-turnover ratio he tallied in his lone season with the Red Raiders. Given that Ramsey logged a team-high 26.2 usage percentage, developing some useful vision and his handling of the ball will be necessary to fill out his offensive role when he reaches the NBA.
