NBA Comparison: Anthony Morrow/Danny Green

Strengths: One of the best 3 point shooters in the nation (was 4th in the nation as a junior and is over 45% behind the 3 point line his last two seasons) ... Shows a willingness to take big shots and makes them ... Rarely forces shots and finds success with a disciplined shot selection ... Has a quick release, showing the ability to catch, set and fire without much time elapsing ... Unselfish, scores his points in the flow of the offense ... A mature, cerebral player who never gets rattled ... Solid skill level … A good passer and decision maker, nothing out of the ordinary but rarely turns the ball over or makes crucial mental errors ... Has adequate handles and the athleticism to get to the hole … Possesses good strength as he is able to guard players that are taller than himself … Was asked to guard Pac-10 power forwards as an underclassman, and filled in admirably … Has improved statistically every season while logging the same amount of minutes … Has been a winner at every level (set 3 point percentage record for Northern California powerhouse De La Salle H.S. and voted 2nd team All Pac-10 as a senior for the Conference Champion California Golden Bears)

Weaknesses: An average athlete by NBA standards … Doesn't jump especially well and lacks great explosiveness and shows just an average first step … Suffered two major hip injuries requiring surgeries which forced him to miss the entire 2007-2008 season … These injuries force scouts to be concerned whether he can handle the rigors of a long NBA schedule ... One on one skills are average as he needs to develop more of an in between game ... His average athleticism makes it difficult for him to finish at the rim as well as create FT shooting opportunities … Needs to play more selfishly on offense as he defers to his teammates even when he has the best offensive match up … Does not possess a scorers mentality, although he always seemed to be resolved to being more of a role player than a star. To his credit, sometimes college role players make better NBA role players than college stand outs … Will need to prove that he can step his range back to the NBA three point line and have the same success ... Not a vocal leader. Leads more by example ... What you see is what you get. Will be 24 in December so his upside is not up to the level of other prospects ...
