Scouting reports

Scout: Gidi Avrahami [gidi@alumni.stanford.org]

Good size, decent skills, not enough muscle and quickness. Sat out the 95-96 season with a bad back. Basically a soft player who only rarely asserted himself in the paint. His size will get him a job in the NBA, but he'll need to step up the intensity or he'll get pushed around. Probably a second rounder to a team that's desperate for size.

Scout: Ryan Fortson [fortson@leland.Stanford.EDU]

Tim Young is a sign of how bad centers have become in the NBA today. He might be drafted late in the first round and could probably become a servicable back-up center. This should not be the case. His best attribute is his ability to shoot from outside and his surprisingly good foul shooting, all of which is to damn with faint praise. Despite his height, he does not provide a credible inside presence. He is not particularly strong, though I suppose I would not classify him as a beanpole either. He seems to have decent mobility, but never really uses it to his advantage. His worst attribute is that he ALWAYS gets in foul trouble. If he had this kind of trouble in college, imagine what things will be like in the pros when he actually goes up against decent competition. Then again, many of the centers in the NBA are lik Young in their lack of skill. If a team is looking for a few fouls at center and maybe someone who can draw the opposing center out of the lane (assuming the zone defense is kept illegal), then Young might be OK. Do not, though, expect much of what one would normally draft a center for.
