||||||||||||||
A good outside
shooting power forward prospect for the Lakers though he is deficient in size
and is not a banger down low. At first thought to be a late 1st round selection
he is slipping and may end up moving into the 2nd round. Dan Langhi is a
senior at Vanderbilt where he plays power forward. Though he is tall he may
lack the strength to play power forward in the NBA, though his skills may allow
him to play at small forward. He is an excellent scorer averaging 22.1 points
per game on 48% shooting, not a good rebounder he still manages 6 per game and
he can play passable defense. A really impressive
outside shooter where he has good moves to get open and can regularly hit three
pointers at a 40% average. He can be a really explosive scorer having 5 games
this season at 30 points or more. He can also get hot at three-point range and
has hit 6 of 9 in one game this season. He unfortunately is pretty much limited
to the perimeter game, he lacks any power moves and has not shown any kind of
post up game. Not a great ballhandler he at least keeps his turnovers fairly
low at 1.8 per game. He is not a shot
blocker and has trouble defending bigger players down low. He is a smart player
though and can play passable defense. He is not a good rebounder but gives it
good effort and his height allows him to pull in a fair number. He had poor games
against LSU and Wake Forest and there is a big question as to whether he can
make it as power forward or small forward in the NBA, his skills falling
between the two and not being perfect for either. He may still be a late 1st
round pick but it is more and more likely that he will slip into the 2nd round.
He was invited to the Desert Classic one of the biggest of the three pre-draft
camps. His averages per game
are 34.4 minutes, 22.1 points, 6 rebounds, 0.4 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.8 assists,
1.8 turnovers, 1.9 fouls, makes 7.4 of 15.5 field goals (48%), 1.9 of 4.8 three
pointers (40%) and 5.4 of 6.2 free throws (87%). Scout: Ian McLean |
