Post by ashes »

Centers
Meyers Leonard - Solid scoring ability. Has some post moves, a decent jump shot, and some range beyond the arc. Takes care of the ball and has decent strength. Average rebounder. Not much of a defender. Don't expect stocks. Good upside.

Tyler Zeller - Decent inside and good jump shot. Might block a shot. Above average rebounder. Decent strength. Doesn't do much else.

Festus Ezeli - Good big butt type. Blocks, plays good post defense, and rebounds pretty well. Very good strength. However, has a turnover problem and can't shoot.

Miles Plumlee - Decent shot-blocking and post defense. Very good offensive rebounder. Good strength. Handles and jump shot aren't great.

Kyle O'Quinn - Decent scoring around the rim with a good jump shot. Very good stock potential. Good post defense. Good rebounding. Good Strength. Handles are a concern.

Power Forwards

JaMychal Green - Decent inside scoring with a solid jump shot. Some range beyond the arc. Should get a steal a game. Decent positional defender with good rebounding. Strength is solid. Handles aren't great.

Quincy Acy - Very similar to some of the aforementioned guys, can score a bit inside, jump shot is okay, and has good stock potential. Rebounding is okay, with solid strength and quickness, but handles are a concern.

Jared Sullinger - Decent inside with an okay jump shot. Very strong. Might get a steal and a block. Above average rebounder. Pretty slow. Handles are below average.

Royce White - Does a lot of things. Can score solidly in the paint, gets a steal, plays pretty well-rounded defense at an acceptable level. Pretty good rebounder. Good strength and quickness. Good vision for his size. Shooting could use some work. Hidden Stipulation: Scouts don't need to tell you that Royce White has some mental health concerns. He will tell you himself. Royce is a big advocate for athlete mental health and it's very important to him to use his platform to further the discussion.

Thomas Robinson - Good inside scoring. Should get a steal. Plays decent positional defense and rebounds very well. Decent strength. Handles need work. Cannot go to the NDL.

John Henson - Good blocks. Good post defense. Decent rebounding. Not very good offense. Needs to hit the weights a bit and handles are just okay. Cannot go to the NDL.

Terrence Jones - Good scoring. Scores well in the paint with a decent jump shot and some developing range. Takes care of the ball decently well. Decent stock potential. Decent rebounding. Good strength and quickness. Terrible tipper, do not deliver anything to this man. Cannot go to the NDL.

Small Forwards

Perry Jones - Does a lot of things just okay. Can score a bit, might get some stocks, plays okay defense, rebounds okay. Good strength. Good upside.

Jae Crowder - Good jumpshot. Takes care of the ball. Good strength and quickness. Good steals. Above average rebounding.

Maurice Harkless - Good scoring in the paint. Some decent stock potential. Takes care of the ball. Good strength and quickness for his size. Shot needs some work.

Robbie Hummel - Very good jump shot with decent 3P range. Decent strength and quickness. Surprisingly good boards. Defense is meh.

Shooting Guards

Dion Waiters - Some solid scoring potential. Can finish at the rim and has a decent jump shot. Might get a steal. Not a very good rebounder. Needs to work on his range. Handles are just okay. Good upside. Cannot go to the NDL.

Evan Fournier - Good jump shot. Good steals. Solid strength and quickness. Not a good rebounder. Handles could use some work. Good upside.

Kent Bazemore - Offense is still developing, but defensively there is something here. Good stock potential from the 2. Good perimeter defense. Pretty good rebounder. Good quickness. Cannot go to the NDL.

Will Barton - Can score some. Good quickness. Not much defense.

Tomas Satoranksy - Good jump shot. Excellent vision. Pretty good handles. Should get a steal. Can play PG.

Jeremy Lamb - Some solid scoring. Can score a bit at the rim, very good jump shot, and a solid 3P. Should get around a steal. Solid rebounding. Takes care of the ball. Good quickness.

Austin Rivers - Very average all around. Does a lot of things but not really impressive anywhere. Should still find minutes during his career. Should get a steal.

Terrence Ross - Can score. Pretty good inside, jump shot, and 3P. Might get a steal. Not a great defender. Good athlete. Takes care of the ball. Good quickness.

Point Guards

Tony Wroten - Fun defensive option. Scores a bit inside but shines on the defensive end. Good steals and perimeter defense. Good quickness and strength. Solid rebounding. Handles need a lot of work.

Scott Machado - Very good jump shot. Good vision. Good quickness. Might get a steal. Not a good defender or rebounder. Range still developing.

That is certainly a train of thought, I recommend utilizing the scouting function

Very underutilized!

Maaliks Waynes is a classic example of the post Scottie Reynolds pre Ryan Arcidiacano Nova teams which were talented but poopy team chemistry
