Draft Profile: Pau Gasol

[Matt]

Pau Gasol

Strengths: Crafty scorer. Can score well in the paint and from the elbows. Good jump shot. Decent court vision. Good defender that blocks shots. Good strength and a pretty good rebounder. Solid quickness for his size.

Weaknesses: Can be a bit sloppy with the ball. Might take some undesirable shots on the outside.

Scout's Take: Gasol comes in as one of the more polished players along with arguably one of the highest upsides. Scouts are excited about the prospects of a strong two-way big man who is looking to take his talents to the states after dominating the international scene. Likely #1 pick.
