What players need to work on:

Blake Griffin-Lack of consistent jump shot
Ricky Rubio-Expirience, Speed and Shooting Range.
Hasheem Thabeet-Very Limited Offensively, needs to add post moves.
James Harden-Tends to be the sidekick, not the leader. Lacks 3-point consistency.
Brandon Jennings-Unknown talents, Too flashy.
Jordan Hill-Expirience.
Earl Clark-Better field goal percentage. Add muscle.
Stephen Curry: Needs more exposure, more experience running the point.

Can you add more?

Ty Lawson: Learning play half court game, and getting consistence mid range game.
B.J Mullins: Learning the game period, and knowing how use his body.
Gerald Henderson: Keep his range improving, and making sure he continues his play from the 2nd half of last season.

Theres 3 someone elese turn.

This is a very interesting post, with a great point in the process of making it. I disagree that Curry needs exposure, he needs to consistently play against better competition instead.

Demar DeRozan: Tighter handle, needs a jump shot, ability to create for himself, passive mindset
Tyreke Evans: Clearly needs a jump shot, could learn to be more of a true point, rely less on his strength
Jonny Flynn: Playing outside of a zone defense he needs to learn more man to man, lack of consistent jump shot

I like this topic…

I’ll go with Thabeet (already said, I know) – needs to become more fluid and less clumsy (if possible)

Chase Budinger-get a haircut, improve footwork on defense
Steph Curry-bulk up a little more, be more selective with shots
James Johnson-get a 3 point shot, grow an inch to play the 4 or get quicker to play the 3
Jeff Teague-become more consistent, improve vision and passing skills
Gani Lawal- be more consistent, bulk up, improve free throw shooting

I’m not going to fight it lol.

STEPHEN CURRY NEEDS SOME MUSCLES!!
Sam Young – Be less robotic with his handle and more consistent with his shot
Heytvelt – Stop smoking pot? bit harsh I know.
Hansbrough – Grow longer arms

i would add shot selection to his needed areas of improvement. In the few games i saw last year, it always looked as if he was forcing his shots

Nice topic

Role players that need some work..

T. Williams –> mid range jumper, long range jumper

J. Adrien –> 15 ft jumper (could be one of the steals in this draft ala carl landry/ paul millsap)

D. Summer –> confidence and basketball iq

D. James –> handled and mid/long range jumper (in the right system could be a shawn marion type)

* just a thought doesn’t everyone entering the nba need to work on their jumper and only when u get to the nba do u really have the oppurtunity to work on ur jumper. so for players like t. evans, t. williams, e. clark and j. harden who are lacking jumpers right now i wouldn’t be scared to look past that and focus on the talent level they already have.

[cprizz15Participant]

obvious players that needs improvement id Dejuan Blair. His lack of size just kills him, he had a few more inches he’d be a dominant power forward in the league.

and somebody before said that james harden tends to be a sidekick.. ??? he was ASU’s leading scorer his first two years there and was POY in the pac ten. i dont think that is a big worry for scouts or harden himself. but he could improve on his shot somewhat.

Alex Ruoff – Get Drafted

Ricky Rubios speed is so underrated its net even funny he cant jump out of the gym although he can dunk but hes quick
