NBA Comparison: Lawrence Roberts

Strengths: Long versatile four man with good hands along with a 7’ 1.5” wingspan … Right hand dominant but has solid touch when finishing over his right shoulder with left hand turnaround or running hooks in the paint … Very unselfish player will look to draw defenders in and pass it out to open shooters out on the wing … Aggressive on the glass going after rebounds which allows him to find a lot of easy put backs … Has shown good footwork in the paint; and that he can score in the paint off various post moves … Strong ability to finish with contact … Jump shot shows potential and could be a decent pick and pop threat in the mid range … Runs the floor hard and well when in transition …

Weaknesses: A bit thin to be a true NBA four man but could definitely mature … Not very physical defensively in the post … Tends to give up too much ground when guarding his man, not really looking to push his guy out of the post nor trying to keep him off the glass … Needs better consistency/assertivness. Finds himself standing around watching the action sometimes … Could roll harder off the screen and roll to get better looks at the rim as well as diving a bit harder … Condition for the NBA level is not there but has shown solid growth over the past few years at BYU … Shot selection can be his biggest problem at times, needs some work on mechanics and on elevation of the shot … Athleticism is a big question mark for him, not a high leaper and doesn’t play above the rim at all or bring much in the way of shot blocking …

Notes: A Team captain at BYU, selected to the All- West Coast Conference team this season. Earned the MVP of the 2013 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, also was a Portsmouth Invitational All Tournament selection averaging 20.7 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 3.0 apg shooting .676 from the field helping him to secure a spot in the NBA draft combine … Put up 11 double doubles in points and rebounds this season. Averaged 17.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks and shot .522 from the field and .682 from the free throw line in his senior season. Davies was also dismissed from the team his sophomore year (2011) for violating the Mormon school’s honor code …
