Scouting Report:
"the 2022 six-foot point guard out of Prolific Prep (CA). Pope is a high-motor, versatile point guard who projects to translate well at the next level. He is a smart ball handler and decision-maker that can create for both himself and his teammates. Pope brings a physical element to his game which enables himself to create space, while giving him three-level scoring upside. Pound-for-pound, he’s arguably one of the most underrated prospects in the class, currently sitting just outside the top-150 in the 247 composite rankings." - Pro Insight- June 2, 2021
