Anonymous NBA scouts on 2014 Draft prospects

quote:
Elfrid Payton, 6-4 guard, Louisiana. "He must be doing well in workouts because I hear his name rising big time, but I'm not as impressed as most people. Can't shoot a lick -- like at all. That's a huge glaring negative. He'll be one of the better defenders in this draft. Gets into the paint whenever he wants. He's getting a lot of buzz, but I'm not big on the guy. Point guards that can't shoot, that's a tough thing."
quote:
Johnny O'Bryant, 6-8 forward, LSU. "Very skilled post player. I like the fact that from Year 1 to Year 2, he worked on his body. Now he can score over those long athletes. One of the sleepers in this draft. He's an old-school, back-to-the-basket low-post scorer. He reminds you of Al Jefferson
quote:
Andrew Wiggins, 6-8 forward, Kansas. "Just a freak athlete. He'll be one of the top 10 or 12 athletes in the NBA. What concerns me is his motor. Does he care enough? Does it matter to him? I just don't think he has any 'f--- you' in him. I've watched him a lot since high school, and there are times you don't know he's on the court. Then again, for someone who got so maligned, he still averaged 17 and 6 in one of the best conferences in America as an 18-year-old. Shows how warped our perspectives are."

Well being a freak defender with a broken jumper who gets to the goal at will worked out ok for Rondo.

quote:
Chane Behanan, 6-6 forward, Louisville. "He does nothing for me. That kid can't get out of his own way."
quote:
Doug McDermott, 6-8 forward, Creighton. "He's going to be better than people think. People talk about footspeed and who he's going to guard, but when a guy is as skilled offensively as this kid is, you'll find a spot for him. Will he be a liability defensively? Maybe, but he's going to punish you at the other end. I don't think he'll score in as many ways as he did in college. He'll be more of a spotup shooter, but he does that at an incredible level."
Thought this one was interesting. I was curious as to how scouts would look at him.
quote:
Julius Randle, 6-9 forward, Kentucky. "He's strong and quick, but he's got to find another way to score. He's not going to be able to overpower people like he did in college. I like his motor. You can rely on him to bring it every game. I think he's got a little more skill than he showed at Kentucky. The foot with him is obviously a question. He has an unhealed break in his foot. It's true. But he played the whole season on it probably. He's adamant he can continue to play on it. I think he should have surgery, but he probably should have had surgery during the season, too."
Honestly, I think he re-injured it during the NCAA Tournament but played through it. He didn't seem hobbled by it during the season. Unless his cramp issues weren't cramp issues and were in fact foot issues.

I don't get what Scottie Wilbekin has to do to get some due
Prospects with "limited athleticism" don't have the second best 3/4 court sprint and lane agility times of any PG prospect as well as a standing vert of 34" and a max vert of 38".
He's going to become the next Tony Parker and draftexpress is going to eat shite
