listed at 6'8", 200 closer to 6'7", 180 Another high school player with tremendous physical ability but not much of a clue about how to really play the game of basketball. McGrady likes to compare himself to Penny Hardaway. I can see that a little bit, but Penny played PG as he grew up -- it's not clear that McGrady played organized basketball. McGrady is an amazingly gifted athlete. He moves gracefully, has very good quickness, and jumps very well. He has a smooth shot that appears fundamentally sound. He is athletic around the hoop, able to contort his body to get looks at the basket in heavy traffic. Offensively, he has great potential with his shooting. He could be a tremendous offensive rebounder. However, he doesn't move without the ball. Period. Perhaps that's a fault of his high school coaching. It's a big weakness in his game. Defensively, he again has great potential. He does a decent job on defense when he tries, but nothing exceptional, except shot blocking. McGrady has a lot of work to do on the defensive end of the court. He doesn't box out very much, either. Ballhandling is above averae for a high school senior his size. Nothing remarkable, though. McGrady is certainly an intriguing player for a NBA team to draft. He has great potential, but has really only had one year of great play in high school to base a decision on. He could become a great 2 or 3 in the league. Most any team would have to wait a minimum of a year, perhaps two, before getting any feedback. In comparing him to the other recent high school seniors who've made the NBA, McGrady compares most closely to Jermaine O'Neal. Physically, he probably approaches Garnett, but he doesn't have Garnett's size or feel for the game. |

This kid has great potiential in playing the 2-3 postions his play at the magic's all-stars was borderline. His stats of his junior year in a weak divioson of flordia basketball were he played were 22.3 PPG, 15.0 RPG, and 9.0 BPG indicates pretty strong game . But like I said he played in a weak comference. During the summer he went to various h.s. camps at the addias basketball camp he was a virtual unknown. His national rank was #175 and moving up he tore up the league out playing some of the best at his postion like lamar odom. He earned MVP at the camp he then transfered to a private school MOUNT ZION CHRISTIAN and dominated the higher level of competion by averaging 22.3 PPG, 7.3 RPG, 4.5 APG, 2.7 SPG, 2.1 BPG while leading his team to a 26-2 record. MCGRADY WANTS TO EXCEED |

Tracy is an unbeliavable athlete. I saw him in a tournament back in Florida and he was truly impressive. He threw down the most amazing dunks in real game situations, not to mention his performance in the dunk contest. Was more impressive athletiacally than former Floridians Vince Carter and Eddie Jones. Has excellent ocurt presence and uncanny ball-handling ability for a man of his size, not to mention nice touch on his jumper, but where he excels is in the transition game where he runs like a gazelle and finshes spectacularly with authority in traffic. But, for all his potential, he sill needs to under stand the finer points of the game... fundamental man-to-man defense (in high school he would just block everybody's shot with athletic ability but that will not be the case in the NBA), offensive movement (without the ball he is a stationary player and will need to move around if he wants to be a successfull wing player in the NBA). But ovreall, if given time to mature, and if he is allowed to play up-and-down open court basketball, Tracy McGrady can be a star!!! |

Cory Carr got his chance as a starter this past season, after being perhaps the best sixth man in the nation last season, and took full advantage of it. Carr led Texas Tech in scoring this past season, and he and teammate Tony Battie formed one of the best "dynamic duos" in college basketball this past season. Carr can flat out score, and in bunches. However, that is precisely his problem- he tends to be streaky with his shooting, in part because he has a tendency to take a lot of bad shots. He would have games this past season where he scored more than 20 points, but had about as many shots, or scored most of his points from the free throw line. A lot of shots that Carr misses are bad shots. Some see Carr as being more of a scorer than a shooter. Carr handles the ball decently. Defensively, Carr is decent. He works hard. He will not shut down the opposing shooting guard, but he won't usually allow him to run wild, either. Cory Carr should be a late first round pick, possibly going early in the second round. He may also go higher, due to a dearth of top-notch shooting guards in this draft. If he can get away from taking bad shots, and continue to work on defense, he could be a steal at that spot. |

Derek Anderson was the best player at Kentucky this past season, and that includes Ron Mercer. He has the quickness to guard the point and an explosive first step to drive by defenders one on one. He also has good shooting range and averaged arround 18 points a game. He's also an excelent passer and team player. He will be the steal of the draft if he is selected number 16 which is unlikely. |

Derek Anderson, if it weren't for his injury history, would be a definite lottery pick. He is easily the most complete off guard in this year's draft. A good rebounder, very good passer for his position, and standout defender who can shoot from the outside and take it to the basket. The question mark is his durability, specifically his knees. Given his promise I expect that some team will decide to take a chance on him by the fifteenth pick. |

REGGIE FREEMAN played at same high school that felipe lopez played at they, were teammates. although lopez got all the pubilcity freeman still had enough potienal to interest coach penders at texas. His field goal percentage is pretty low for a shooting guard so a steady jump shot is a must in order to make a living. But then again run and gun is texas's offensive philosophy. He has improved his ball- handling which allows him to use his athletic gifts to soar past defenders into the lane. His 3-point shooting is awfull yet he tries to hoist it with regularity. Defense is not his fortey in that he becomes to focused on scoring. He also shoots to many shoots that he can not make. Overall I think he will get drafted in the first round because of the fact that there are not many good or decent shooting guards in this draft. |

The thing that stands out the most about Shea Seals is that he is a winner. Seals has played in the NCAA tournament during all four years of his college career. This may not be a significant piece of information to use when evaluating a player from UNC or Kansas, but Seals accomplished this while playing for teams in the MVC and WAC, two conferences that traditionally do not receive a lot of NCAA invitation bids. Although Seals is known as a shooter because of his 20 point performance against Dream Team III in '96, he has not been a consistent shooter during his college shooter. Seals has a decent-looking shot and impressive range, but has displayed questionable shot selection and accuracy during his career (primarily because Tulsa has depended on him so much). He cannot create his own shot off the dribble and is basically an erratic spot-up shooter who can catch fire on occasion and uses his solid driving abiity far too infrequently. However, Seals' passing skills and ballhandling skills are solid and he has shown the ability to make his teammates better by making the right play at the right time. Although Seals is a rather average athlete with slightly above average quickness, his primary strength is his defensive ability. Seals is the type of defender that can put the clamps on an opponent's top perimeter scoring threat. His long arms and very strong (and perhaps too muscular) physique are put to good use in his role as a defensive stopper. Most experts project that Seals will be drafted late in the 1st round because of his productive track record. However, unless he can improve the accuracy of his jumpshot, Seals will be nothing more than a fourth guard in the NBA. |

Shea Seals was a pre-season all american after scoring 20 points on 6-3 pointers against the Dream Team in the early summer. His play during his senior year at Tulsa was consistent, but not great. No one doubts his scoring ability (21.3 ppg) however he is able to be stopped, it was proven in the NCAA's when he had two woeful games scoring 15 in one and 7 in the other. Scouts have high hopes for this 6-5, 210 lb. 2 guard who has incredible potential to be a star if he becomes the same player he was aginst the NBA's best. |

In my report on Ed Gray, I thought although the guy has some gifts (shooting being the main one) I didn't think that he had any one on one moves, and needed to be run off picks in order to score at all. I think the impression is that Cotton is a simliar kind of player, but I didn't get that in watching him play here at Poly. He didn't have a great game, at least by what I may have been expecting, but he showed both range, and an ability to drive into the lane. He's light though. I think he runs <190 lbs, and at his listed height of 6'5" that may prove to be a bonus. Physically I think he's a gamer... but in the game that I saw him at here with us leading by two with 4 seconds to go, he looked for his shot, passed to their point guard (name escapes me) who took what was unfortunately the game winner. Now maybe this just shows that he's not selfish, and willing to look to teamates who have better looks, but if Cotton's the goto guy, why didn't he take the shot? From my recollection, the play went to him, but the defense wasn't *that* tight, although the guy who took the shot was definitely wide open. If I saw him play a few more times and seen him take the last second hero shot, then I'd feel this guy would be a good pickup. At this point, I'd probably rate him behind Gray for the fact that I've seen Gray more, but Cotton could be a real sleeper... but is likely to fall to the second round. He may even fall out of the draft completely and simply be a safe rookie free agent. Teams like Boston might snag this guy in the second round, in the hopes that he'll come hungry for the ball. |

ANTHONY PARKER'S draft rank took a plummet this season he was to be the first shooting guard taken but now apprears more to be a lock for the late first round or a second round draft pick. His senior numberes were not impressive as his junior stats . ball handleing has never been parker's strongest asset. He needs a true point guard by his side to feed him be 1000 % effective. parker is not a pure long range shooter. PARKER has been seen as the school 's best player since hersey hawkins. His defense has improved each year. He likes to set the tone with his willingness to go up against the opposing guards. overall his senior season had career low'S in every catorgory from rebouding, scoring, field goal percentage and free throw pecentage. I don't see him as a star but a competent pro maybe. His cofidence in his game must come back to him in order for him to succed at the next level |

Tennessee-Chattanooga had one of it's best seasons ever due in large part to Johnny Taylor. This 6-8 athletic small forward took them to the sweet sixteen where they were beaten by Providence. Taylor was the conference's player of the year after averaging 16.5 ppg and 7.3 rpg. He has a lot of potential, but it is necessary that he develop an outside shot, most of his scoring came within 10 feet of the basket, and improve his foul shooting, he went 5 for 14 against Providence in the NCAA's. Taylor would be a good pickup for any team in the second round, but don't look for him to be an NBA all star. |

PPG: 16.9 RPG: 6.6 APG: 6.3 FG%: 55.3 FT%: 72.3 This native Texan is a fabulous passing forward and the fourteenth player to be selected to the McDonald's All American Team from Oak Hill Academy. "He will surprise people with how versatile his game is and he's as versatile as any player I've ever coached at Oak Hill," says coach Steve Smith. "Stephen likes to make an assist before he shoots himself and he's fantastic in the open court." He led the team in scoring, three-point field goals made, 951, and assists. Oak Hill finished 27-4 and Jackson was one of five players on the team to average double figures in scoring. ** Stephen Jackson was considered by many to be a top-20 prep player before he was declared ineligible to play at Arizona last year. He was the leading scorer in the 1996 McDonald's All-American game, on a team that included Kobe Bryant, Jermaine O'Neal and Tim Thomas. His high school coach, Steve Smith from Oak Hill Academy, considers him a blend of Jerry Stackhouse and Ron Mercer and one of his most talented players ever. Exactly how much impact Jackson has in the NBA is questionable. His raw talent is first-rate, but whether he can develop the work ethic and consistency necessary will determine his success. A team might take a chance on him late in the first round, and he'll probably turn into either a good NBA player or a waste of a roster space for a couple of years. |

Willoughby will be a solid NBA player, although not a starter, for one reason and one reason alone. He can flat out shoot the ball. Shoots the ball much better than the guys who will go ahead of him Carr, Cotton, Seals and Parker, but is not in the same class athletically. Has a quick release, great form and excellent touch with range well beyond the college arc. Unfortunately, Dedric is not very quick, and will have trouble defending NBA guards. He is also only 6'3" with no point guard skills, so he will end up as a role player, coming off the bench to shoot the three-ball. Reminds me a lot of Voshon Lenard as a player, but is a better shooter than Voshon was at Minnesota. |

Ike is a tremendous shooter with decent size and strength. Don't discount his stats just because he played for one of the weaker Pac-10 teams. Washington State did not run many screens for him, and he showed the ability to create his own shot and hit some tough ones. Also, his work ethic and humility are beyond reproach, while his ball-handling is about adequate for a 2-guard. Unfortunately, his defensive skills are not so good. His relatively slow footwork may confine him to bit roles at the NBA level. |

After getting very few minutes at Michigan during his freshman year, Olivier Saint-Jean decided to transfer to a program where he would get more minutes. In two seasons at San Jose State, Saint-Jean has become one of the nations leading scorers (23.7 ppg), and taken his team to the NCAA tournament. The France native blends an inside-outside game on his offensive attack and is a very good rebounder for his size (8.8 rpg). His improved play over the last two season has caused him to become a potential first round draft pick, but I look for him to go in the early second round. |

Alvin Williams has great size and good skills to be a point guard at the next level. He is a quick and creative scorer, and has the skills of a point guard, although he spent most of the season at shooting guard. Williams came alive during the NCAA's which upped his stock, but some question his ability to break down defenses and create plays. He's played in the shadow of Kerry Kittles for the bulk of his career and Tim Thomas this past year so he hasn't gotten much publicity. I look for him to be a second round draft pick. |
More Poop (Scout:Philip Fink) |
I like this guy. Despite being listed here as an off guard he will be a point guard in the pros, just as he was in college. For a point he has excellent size and rebounding ability. He has also proven himself of running a team and making the basic, if not spectacular pass. Another good sign is that his shooting improved throughout his career, ending his career as a legitimate 3-point threat. Quickness on defense is a bit of a concern. Look for him to go early in the second round. |

Poop (Scout:Mark Skogsberg) |
Page is yet another textbook example that John Thompson should stick to coaching big men. He is another in a long line of very selfish guards to come out of this otherwise fine institution, in the "tradition" of Allen Iverson, "Sleepy" Floyd, and Reggie Williams. On the bright side, he is a two, so he shouldn't have as much of an opportunity to alienate his teammates as say, Iverson has. Don't get me wrong. He does have offensive skills. He is very creative in the open floor, at least as far as finding his own shot (which is all I've ever seen him do), and he is a natural coming off screens to free himself up for the outside shot. Also, he is extremely streaky, so he can put up HUGE numbers when he's on, and he is a passable 3-pt shooter. His biggest problem is that he shoots like he's always in the zone, and thus has put up some horrific stat lines over the course of his short career. He also needs the ball in his hands to be at all effective, something which will not happen much with him probably spending most of his first couple of years on the bench, assuming of course that he gets drafted at all. He would probably be a little more attractive if he could handle the ball a little better, so that he could at least slide over to the point on occasion, but his assist-to-turnover ratio is as terrible as his shooting percentage. Also, his free-throw percentage is not a high as it should be for someone with his shooting ability. Defensively, he is decent but not great. He has good lateral quickness, and the ability to stay with his man, but gambles a little too much. Granted, he does come up with his share of steals, but I wouldn't call him a defensive stopper in any sense. Also, his size is an obvious problem at the two spot (I dread ever having to see him guard Mercer, or Heaven forbid, MJ). Overall, I see him as a Rex Chapman without the athleticism or a Vernon Maxwell without the defensive tenacity. He does have some ability, though, and with a lot of work, better shot selection, and solid NBA coaching, he could develop into a solid combination guard, a la Joe Dumars. |

Gray improved almost every aspect of his game between his junior and senior years, and turned himself from a streaky bench threat into a dominant scorer and a guy who will get at a decent look from an NBA team. Strengths: Knows how to score. Good on the break and in traffic, gets his shot off quickly, adjusts well coming off a pick, strong and a good leaper, gets to the line and makes FTs. Weaknesses: Only 6'3" and doesn't have PG skills; not a great outside shooter; even with defensive improvement he's far from a stopper. A year ago, I wouldn't have thought Gray had any hope of making an NBA roster. His improvements in shot selection, passing and defense have changed my mind--if he continues to grow he should become an NBA contributer. I don't think he'll be able to convert to PG; a more likely path is to develop a viable NBA three and become an instant-offense guard off the bench. Since Gray's season ended with a foot injury, his performance at the predraft camps will determine whether any teams are willing to spend a pick getting him. |

Bubba is probably my favorite "sleeper" prospect. His frame reminds me of "Blue" Edwards, but his offensive skills remind me of Mitch Ritchmond. He probably won't be selected in the Usenet Mock Draft, but he'll be a "steal" in the second round of the N.B.A. Draft. |

James Collins-- A streak shooter, without a lot else to recommmend him. The whole FSU team gambled on defense a lot, so his steals totals are a bit inflated... Best he can be: Deep bench player, used as a fourth guard by a team that needs a shooter in that role. Worst he can be: "Now you see, sir, 'term' insurance means..." |

Charles Smith is an exciting player who will be a steal in the second round of the draft. The "Spider" is known mainly for his great dunks, but Charles also has decent three point range, and was relied upon at UNM to be the "money" player in crunch time. Charles has tremendous leaping ability and abnormally long arms, but is affected by his rather average speed. His dribbling skills are average, favoring the right hand, and his favorite move is to beat the defender baseline and dunk from several feet away. In the NBA however, this feat is a little tougher to perform than against WAC foes. Charles has a limited short range jumper, preferring to beat defenders off the dribble. Charles made the all defensive team in the WAC, mainly due to the high number of steals he recorded. Other than steals however, his defensive skills are below average, and he gambles too much for the steal. Charles future in the NBA will probably be as the first or second man off the bench, a designated scorer. Charles can play, but he needs to improve the fundamentals of his game to get the playing time. |

This senior 2 guard started alongside Jason Kidd at Cal before transfering to Kansas after one season. Jerod Haase is a good pure shooter and a solid defender, but not much else. He's played great at times, but has never benn consistently good. In his sophomore year at Kansas he led the Jayhawks in scoring and three point shooting, but hasn't regained his poise over the past two years. He's a good player and his defense has gotten much better during his college career, but it doesn't look like his game will get much better then it already is. He'll be lucky if he gets drafted. |

Jeff Capel-- Too short and unable to generate his own shot to play shooting guard, too score-oriented and makes awful decisions with the ball and so can't play point guard. Might get drafted because his 10 best games were at the end of his senior year. Not ridiculous to think he could go to the CBA and make himself into a back-up point guard. But more likely this bright guy will end up a coach like his daddy... |

Ronnie Fields would probably be starting on ANY college team in the country if he were eligible, but since he isn't, he had to play for Rockford in the CBA last year. He was a high school teammate of Kevin Garnett's and was thinking of going straight pro until he got into a bad car accident his senior year. In his senior year, Ronnie had 4 fouls. He got a steal and his opponent tried to take a charge. So what did he do? He jumped OVER his opponent and dunked it home. |
Poop (Scout: JCash34@aol.com) |
Fields signed a letter of intent to play college ball at DePaul University, but failed to qualify academically. Rather than sitting out one season as a Prop 48, and possibly becoming the best guard in college, he decided to take his chances in the CBA. Averaging just 7.4 ppg and playing a limited role with the Rockford Lightning last season, Fields, like most other underclassmen, is not ready for the NBA mainly because he proved he wasn't ready for the CBA. He has great potential as a shooting guard, but should've stuck with college where he could've been a star. I see him having a long and possibly prosperous career in the CBA, or saving Michael Jordan a seat on the bench. |
