Wilcard EntrantEric Gordon
SG 6'3 215 19 North Central HS (IN) HS Sr.
B- B C C+ C- A
Gordon is very athletic for a 2 guard. He loves to drive the lane and make a tough play. He is a solid shooter, but is streaky at times. His defense needs work as he can get beat off the dribble. He is very turnover prone, and some scouts fear he plays out of control more than he should.
Wildcard EntrantMartell Webster SG 6'7 210 21 Washington So.
C+ B+ C- C+ C- B
Webster is a combo type player. He is tall enough to play the 3, but his skills may be better suited for the 2 spot. He likes to attack the rim, but plays out of control at times. He doesn't rebound as well as a player his size should. His ball handling skills are very limited, so work on them should be a top priority.
Wilcard EntrantOJ Mayo SG 6'5 195 20 Huntington HS (WV) HS Sr.
C+ B C C+ D+ A
Mayo is a very solid scorer. He can score in a variety of ways. His ball handling is very suspect as he is very turnover prone and gets a bit wild with the ball at times. His defense also needs some work. He is still raw in some scouts eyes, so bringing him along at a good clip should help him be a solid star in SSBL.
Wildcard EntrantRodney Stuckey SG 6'5'' 207 21
B- C C+ B C B
Stuckey loves to score inside, even at his height. His excellent body strength allows him to be a very solid scorer. He can play both guard positions. Has a solid outside shot. Stuckey is a lock down defender. His lack of athleticism may hinder his skills in SSBL.
Renaldas Seibutis SG 6'6' 185 22
C+ B C C C- B
Seibutis is a solid scorer and loves to slash to the hoop. He has decent handles. He becomes passive sometimes and doesn't look for his own shot. Defensively, he needs work if he wants to stick in SSBL.
Adam Haluska SG 6'5'' 210 24
C+ C+ C C+ D+ C
Haluska may have time against his side entering the draft at 24. He isn't the best athlete but does the things to help his team win. He can score in a variety of ways, but wont be the leading scorer. Ball handling has always been an issue, so needs work on that aspect of his game.
Arron Afflalo SG 6'5'' 206 22
C+ B- C B+ C B
Scouts love that he possesses a SSBL ready body and should stick on whatever team drafts him. He is always moving to find an open spot on the floor to make a move or score himself. He has great upper body strength. He doesn't have the quickest first step, which may lead to him being shut down by solid defenders. He needs work on his ball handling, as it is suspect.
Coby Karl SG 6'5'' 215 24
B- C C+ C+ C B
Like Haluska, Karl may be running out of time to impress in SSBL. He doesn't offer much, but the small things wont ever show up on a stat sheet. he has a good feel for the game and always makes the right play. His outside shot is suspect and he relies more on driving the lane.
DJ Strawberry SG 6'5'' 199 22
C+ C+ C C+ C- C
Strawberry is a very good defender. He has worked hard on his outside shot. He is athletic, but plays out of control at times.
Brad Newley SG 6'7'' 201 22
B- B- C C+ C- B
The Aussie is a pretty good scorer. He can score inside our out. he uses his height to out muscle smaller players and gets a good amount of steals. His ball handling needs work for him to be effective in SSBL.
Derrick Byars SG 6'7'' 215 23
C+ C+ C C C- B
Byars is a pretty good athlete. He loves driving, but can also hit the outside shot. He loves the big game pressure. Scouts say he needs more work on his ball handling and defense to be more than a role player in SSBL.
JamesOn Curry SG 6'3'' 190 21
B- C C B- D+ B
Curry is a very smooth player who loves the fast break play. He isn't a consistent scorer, and lacks the drive to take over a game. He doesn't posses good enough ball handling skills to be a PG, so SG is where he sticks. Sloppy play leads to turnovers for Curry, and that could be an issue in SSBL.
Marco Belinelli SG 6'5'' 192 21
C+ B+ C+ C D B
Belinelli has a silky smooth jumpshot which leads to alot of points quickly. he has good ball handling skills for a SG. his defense is suspect has he doesn't have the foot speed to keep up with quicker players. He can attack the hoop, but has a lean body which makes absorbing contact hard at times.
Marcus Williams SG 6'7'' 205 21
C+ B C C+ C- A
A mismatch for most 2 guards. He is athletic enough to drive the lane or stop and pop. He has decent handles. Uses his length to overwhelm his opponent and play good defense.
Mario West SG 6'5'' 210 23
C+ C C B+ C B
Scouts wonder where West fits in. He loves the highlight dunk, but has no outside shot for a SG. He makes up for his anemic offense with very good defense. Ball handling needs work for him to be more of a threat in SSBL.
Mustafa Shakur SG 6'3'' 190 23
C+ B C C+ D B
Shakur has the body of a PG, but can play the 2 as well. He makes the right play and understands how to control tempo. SSBL scouts like that he looks for the open man and only scores when the time is right. He has quick hands which leads to alot of fast break chances for his team.
Nick Young SG 6'7'' 206 22
B C C B- C B
Young is very athletic and loves to use his length to score in a variety of ways, whether its flashy or not. He has an outside shot, but he is known as a streaky shooter. Scouts feel he can work on it to be more of a complete player in SSBL. He uses his quick hands and length to lock down opposing players. He can also play the 3 as well.
Rudy Fernandez SG 6'6'' 172 22
C+ B C B- C B
Fernandez has great range on his outside shot. He is a slasher and isn't afraid of contact. He plays out of control at times, but with the right coaching can work on it. His defense is solid as he uses his quick hands and foot speed to collect steals and run the fast break. Ball handling is an issue as he gets out of control at times and forces shots.
