Scouting Report: JazzyJ [JazzyJDT@aol.com]
Tremendous athlete with somewhat checkered past, having been suspended this year for previous dealings with an agent. Went from playing inside in junior college to a more perimeter-oriented game at Cincinnati. Very good around the hoop and finishes very well -- good dunker. Needs some serious work on outside shooting. Good first step and gets to the basket in a flash. Played forward in college -- will need to make the conversion to shooting guard for the NBA. Also needs to upgrade ball-handling skills -- a little too turnover prone. Good mental fortitude as he played very well in the latter part of the season after mother died (in fact, set career high the very next day). Good open floor player who would fit in well with a running team. Looks to be an early 2nd round pick.
