Draft Notes

Post by Matt »

Centers

Samuel Dalembert - Good blocks and positional defense. Decent free throw shooter. Handling is okay. Average rebounder with solid strength.

DeSagana Diop - Very good defender and a good shot blocker. Very strong. Good rebounder. Takes care of the ball. Incredibly slow. Negative offense. Terrible free throw shooter.

Steven Hunter - Abysmal from the line. Decent strength and will block shots. That's about it.

Jason Collins - Solid pretty much everywhere for a big. Takes care of the ball. Good strength. Wouldn't mind playing with his brother.

Jarron Collins - Won't get as many stocks as his brother, but better in the paint. Handling more of an issue than Jason. Wants to play with his brother.

Brendan Haywood - Good defender and decent shot blocker. Good strength with average rebounding. Pretty slow. Okay Inside.

Power Forwards

Eddie Griffin - Very raw with a lot of talent. Unique player. Offense needs work. Good vision and handling, pretty good blocks. Average rebounding. Motivation can be an issue. HIDDEN STIPULATION.

Kwame Brown - Subpar offense and handling. Stocks are lacking, but there's room there. Decent post defense and rebounding. Very good strength. Needs a lot of work, but good upside.

Troy Murphy - Excellent rebounder with some good range. Volume might be low. Defense is non-existent. Good strength.

Vladimir Radmanovic - Stretch 4 that might get a steal. Other than that, no defense. Decent strength and quickness. Subpar rebounder.

Small Forwards

Richard Jefferson - Offensively-minded forward with decent quickness and strength. Defense is okay. Below average rebounder. Handling is okay, but might need a little boost. Can probably play the 2 as well.

Gerald Wallace - Unpolished offense with very good steals. Quickness is good but needs to hit the weights. Jack of all trades when it comes to positional defense. Some potential for blocks. Above average rebounder. Tough tweener situation.

Shane Battier - 3 and D. Glue guy. Work ethic. Hustle. Gym rat. Etc etc

Kedrick Brown - Good defender with good strength and solid rebounding. Maybe an NDL stash type player.

Andres Nocioni - Solid inside scoring and jump shot. Good handling. Strength is good. Defense is okay but nothing special. Average rebounder.

Rodney White - Average across the board.

Bobby Simmons - Okay volume with a good jump shot. Very middling defense. Good rebounder. Solid strength and quickness.

Shooting Guards

Joe Johnson - Flashes of good offense. Good strength and quickness. Solid court vision. Handling needs work. Defense is bad. Excellent upside.

Charlie Bell - Can score a bit. Good handling. Okay boards.

Trenton Hassell - Good outside. Might get a steal. Good handling and quickness. Not a good rebounder.

Joseph Forte - Decent offense and takes care of the ball.

Maurice Evans - Good jump shot and perimeter defense. Some steals.

Point Guards

Jamaal Tinsley - Not great offensively, but good defense and some steals. Good passing with good quickness. Handles are decent. Pretty good strength for a PG.

Raul Lopez - Very good shooter with solid handling and quickness. Not a great defender.

Carlos Arroyo - Lesser Lopez with slightly higher upside.

Earl Watson - Poor offense, but a very good defender that will create turnovers. Good handling and quickness. Very low passing. Rebounding isn't terrible.
