Scouting reports

Scout: JazzyJ

Thought about coming out for the draft after his junior year, but made the best decision in coming back for his senior season. After all, guys shooting 35% from the field usually aren't drafted. Great scorer who can score in a variety of ways. Not a great outside shooter, but can hit enough of them to be dangerous. Has good size for shooting guard, but is his handle good enough?

Could be a 2/3 tweener in that aspect. Too careless with the basketball -- a 1:2 assist to turnover ratio is simply unacceptable for a guard in the pros. Good rebounder, however. Has not played well in the pre-draft camps, so that certainly hurts his status. But still projects as a second round pick.
