Wildcard EntrantCorey Brewer SF 6'8'' 185 21 Florida Jr.
C+ B- C B C A
Brewer is a high energy player. He loves being active on the defensive end of the ball. He is a slasher, but has a decent jumpshot. He needs to work on his ball handling, since he is quite turnover prone.
Wildcard EntrantJulian Wright SF 6'9 211 20 Kansas So.
C+ C D+ B C A
Wright is a defensive stopper. He is a bigger SF, so he could see time at PF too. His outside game is dismal, so scouts say that is one area of big time improvement. Rebounding needs work too.
Al Thornton SF 6'7'' 221 24
B- C C B- C+ B
Like Wright, Thornton has no outside game. He is more of a slasher. He is a big time defensive guy. Scouts feel his offense will come in time. He loves to block shots and step up with the big defensive stop. Being an older player may hurt the stock of Thornton.
Alando Tucker SF 6'5'' 205 23
B- C- C B C B
Tucker is a very smart player. He does the little things to help his team win. He isn't much of a scorer, but is known for his defensive abilities. Scouts feel Tucker may need to show more of an offensive threat to stick in SSBL.
Brandon Wallace SF 6'8'' 225 22
B- C C- B- C B
Wallace is a bit of an unknown player. He is known as a lanky slasher. He uses his height and length to create shots inside. He loves running the fast break. Scouts feel he may need some seasoning before making it in SSBL.
Brent Petway SF 6'8'' 205 22
C+ B- C+ C+ C B
Petway is a tweener forward. He doesn't have the size to play PF, but lacks the speed to stay with some SFs in SSBL. Scouts feel he will need alot of work to make an impact at the next level.
Demetris Nichols SF 6'8'' 211 23
B C C C+ C B
Another lanky forward. Nichols is a slasher, with a streaky jumpshot. He doesn't offer much, and some scouts are turned off by that. He has a good basketball IQ, but some may question is motor at times.
Dominic McGuire SF 6'8'' 220 22
B- C C- B C B
McGuire is a smart player. Scouts like how he approaches the game. He has a streaky outside shot, which if isn't falling, then he relies on his go to post moves. Rebounding is an issue, which needs work if he wants to be a more complete SSBL player.
Giorgios Printezis SF 6'9'' 220 22
B- C+ C B- C B
Solid-sized forward with good strength and athleticism. A stand still shooter from distance. Aggressive defender and rebounder. Despite being aggressive on the rebounding side of the ball, could use work on getting better position for more boards. If he comes over this season, could find himself in the D League for a couple years before making a SSBL debut.
Jared Dudley SF 6'7'' 219 22
B- C C- B C B
Dudley isn't afraid of contact. Scouts love the face he looks for it on occasion. Ball handling is suspect, as he losses control if heavily guarded. Dudley brings a fire to the court that may entice some GMs.
Jeff Green SF 6'9'' 228 21
B- C C B C B
Green is quite the versatile player, causing mismatches for his defender. He has an outside shot, but needs work on it to be a more complete player. He isn't afraid of contact and loves using post moves to score around the rim. Rebounding is one area scouts feel he needs work in, since he is a combo forward.
Kevin Durant SF 6'9'' 215 19 B B- C B+ C A
Durant can do it all, basically. He is lanky, but has a very nice outside stroke. Scouts love the passion he brings every night. Durant should be the clear cut #1 in the draft.
Reyshawn Terry SF 6'8'' 222 23
B- C C B- C B
Terry is a filler type player. He doesn't offer much, but can fill in for a player if need be. He is more of a slasher then jump shot player. He could use more bulk on his frame to be more of a rebounder and defender at the next level.
Sammy Mejia SF 6'7'' 218 24
C+ C C C+ C- C
An average player at best. Likes to drive to the hoop, but doesn't always make the best play. He is a long shot to make the league, as scouts don't see much more from him over other players.
Thaddeus Young SF 6'8'' 210 19
B- C C B C A
Alot of hype around Young, but can he live up to it? Scouts like that he is versatile and can play both forwards spots, but aren't sure where he fits in better. Some GMs may be scared away that he doesn't rebound as well as he should. he also isn't much of a shooter, relying more on a first step and drive to the hoop.
Wilson Chandler SF 6'8'' 210 20
B- C+ C B C B
Scouts love the skill set Chandler has. He can jump out of the gym, and loves the big time dunk play. An improving jump shot has really helped his all around game. Some GMs may be scared of the fact that Chandler displays a lack of hustle at times, and doesn't show much effort at times.
Joao Gomes SF 6'7'' 190 22
B- C+ C C+ C- B
Scouts love the fire Gomes brings to the floor. He loves to slash but can score from the outside. If he gets on a roll, he is quite hard to stop. His ball handling needs alot of work to be productive at the pro level. If Gomes comes over this season, look for him to spend alot of time in the D League.
Sun Yue SF 6'9'' 212 22
C+ C+ B- C+ C A
Scouts love the skills Yue brings. His ball handling is superb, as he has played PG before. He can potentially play 3 positions at the next level. He is not super quick, which may lead to many missed opportunites in SSBL. He likes to create mismatches by shooting over smaller players. Scouts are unsure about which position fits Yue the best, and that could cause his stock to slip.
