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 …
