Physical, versatile forward with proven rebounding and scoring pop
Hoard is a high-motor forward whose Wake Forest track record and pro production point to a player who can rebound, finish through contact, and create value without needing touches called for him. At Wake Forest in 2018-19, he averaged 13.1 points and 7.6 rebounds as a freshman, and his later pro seasons show he can translate that inside-out impact at a higher level. He fits teams that want toughness, activity, and versatility more than pure shot-creation, though his outside shooting and efficiency have fluctuated. [13][16][6]
