Guess the 2+ All NBA player from their draft scouting report
Guess the player from snippets of their draft scouting report. I think I removed enough to not make it too easy but kept enough to not make it too difficult. All the players are currently in the league and have been All NBA at least twice. All reports are from NBADraft.net
Strengths: A well-rounded forward with great qualities for a future role-player … Solid athlete with nice overall quickness … Great length … Extremely active on both ends of the court… Doesn’t need to dominate the basketball to be effective offensively … Shows good instincts cutting to the rim … Catches the defense off-guard with a lot of backdoor cuts … Confident spot-up shooter, that does a lot of damage in the mid-range … Highly unselfish… Tough defender with all the tools needed to become very valuable in this area … Gets a lot of deflections with his long arms
Weaknesses: Good all-around player, but lacks any one great skill… Fits the “jack of all trades, master of none” mold … Not a stand-out athlete …
Weaknesses: Has struggled mightily with his post offense early in the season. Post play, foot work and confidence on the block needs a lot of work … Still appears to be growing into his body, movements are gangly … A very solid athlete, but not the most explosive leaper without momentum, though he’s shown the ability to dunk from the free throw line, so he’s not exactly a plodder …
Weaknesses: An average athlete who plays below the rim … He’s a “momentum athlete” in the sense that he shows solid athleticism when he has momentum moving towards the rim …
Weaknesses: Needs to develop his body, strengthening his arms and upper body and toning his legs … Despite being a bigtime athlete, he’s still extremely raw fundamentally. Really must improve as a free throw shooter …
Weaknesses: has to improve his assertiveness on both ends of the court to reach his potential, he too often bails out defenders and doesn’t utilize his physical gifts to the best of his ability on a game to game basis at this stage … There were games when it seemed like he could’ve took over and made his presence felt but instead settled for low percentage jumpers all game or showed a total disregard of playing defense … Shot selection is a work in progress …
Weaknesses: … Even though he has improved as a shooter, *** is still a streaky shooter, mostly due to his subpar shot-selection … He has a tendency to settle for tough, contested two-point jumpers, partially due to his inability to consistently get all the way to the rim, and also because of his average decision making skills
