Scouting Report from 2005 Pro Basketball Combine

Category Comments
Physical & Mental

Good shape physically... Was able to work through adversity and step up his game when faced with it, rather than back down and let in.

Ball Skills Decent, but had some trouble when placed under pressure. Would need to be better for the next level.
Offense

Very limited range for his jump shot as a backcourt player. Did not finish well when driving to the basket.

Rebounding Not applicable. Did not get near the boards on either end of the floor.
Defense Played ok on and off the ball.

Game Knowledge

Seems to know the game but not able to execute
Strengths Hustles.
Opportunities for Improvement Needs to keep playing to work on his skills
Overall Comments

Had trouble keeping up when the game was moving fast. Had a hard time seeing plays develop in up tempo setting.
