As a frosh, he battled injury problems to become Duke's highest scoring frosh (11 ppg) since the Dawkins/Alarie days. As a sophomore, he became an unstoppable weapon in transition and even stepped in at point guard when Bobby Hurley was injured. As a junior, he became the leading scorer and the team's best defender. And as a senior, he proved to be the most versatile player in the country, leading a young team to great heights. Grant is expected to be a top five pick, perhaps even a lottery pick. Before this year, some had questioned his toughness, saying that he had been too passive a player to be an immediate impact player in the NBA. Many questioned his shooting range, and his willingness to take the three pointer. Many also questioned his leadership ability after being content to let fiery guys like Laettner and Hurley lead the team. Grant answered all these questions as a senior. He proved that he was a good three point shooter, willing to take the shot whenever needed (see the Florida and Arkansas games). He took a young team, played out of position at point guard and led it to a big season. He just took over some games offensively when the rest of the team was slumping. But his real value was making the rest of his teammates better, getting them involved in the game, continuing to feed them the ball even if they were slumping. His game was a perfect blend of unselfishness and aggressivness. As for his skills, they seem made for the NBA. I think he'll make a big impact quickly primarily for his defense. He can guard quick players, power players, and top shooters and make them disappear. He's effective out on the perimeter or doubling down low. He can block shots and make spectacular strips. He plays well in the halfcourt, but is made for a transition game. He can finish and make foul shots. His rebounding is excellent, and is more impressive because he's excellent at positioning. I haven't even mentioned his incredible athleticism--this alone sets him apart from other Duke players. His only weak spot is his shooting. His shot has improved greatly since coming to Duke, but he's still not a great shooter. He also might be a little reticent at first to take his jumper. He's also been injury-prone at times in his career, although he was healthy this year. Grant might take awhile to take charge of a team he's on, but within two years, he should be a major impact player. I see him as a Steve Smith sort of player, a guy who doesn't really have a defined position but can run the offense, stick jumpers, and get into the post. A smart team would use him in as many places as possible.

He was the Big East player of the year and also Big East defensive player of the year. He is expected to go in the first half of the lottery. As a 6'9" bean pole, he is a versatile player, generally considered to be primarily a small forward prospect for the NBA. (A reasonable comparison might be to Vin Baker.) At Connecticut he played both SF and PF. To compare with the prototype NBA SF (Scottie Pippen), Donyell is less effective in perimeter D, and in ball handling. However he is stronger off the glass and as a shot blocker. Along with his height, Donyell has long arms and is a quick leaper, which make him a very effective shot blocker. He excelled at interior help D (e.g. an opponent would post up one of UConn's undersized power players, and Donyell would come flying in to swat the shot away). Marshall's most impressive offense is in transition sequences where he'd grab a rebound, dribble half way up the court in medium traffic, dish the ball, and then get it back for a tomahawk slam. His bread and butter from the half court is the midrange turn around J, a shot he will likely be able to get in the NBA. Donyell is effective off the offensive boards and has reasonable post moves. In college most of his interior scoring was in transition or off rebounds because teams would collapse to deny him the ball inside. Donyell lacks the strength to bull his way inside, and while he's quick in the air, he's not so quick off the dribble. His shot facing the basket is adequate (good for his height, but not above average for an NBA small forward). The main negative about Donyell is that he seems to have somewhat fragile confidence that leads him to frustrate easily. This was most obvious in the NCAA tournament where at the end of a poor game he missed two free throws that would have most likely given Connecticut a win over Florida (this from a player who set a Big East record for most free thows in a game without a miss, and has consistently been a prime time pressure performer). Marshall's stock fell slightly as he had a poor post season compared to other top players like Grant Hill and Juwan Howard. Donyell was not regarded as highly coming into this year as he probably deserved because (I believe) he had been willing to play second fiddle behind the team's more experienced stars during previous seasons.

He probably isn't really 6'7" however, but he's as big as Glen Rice, a guy he reminds me of. Strengths:although he's a good shooter, I don't think its really as big of a strength as some think, he's not in cousin Tracy's class as a pure shooter, but he's much better at gettin his own shot because of superior jumping ability, long arms, and a high release that's tough to block. Never met a shot he didn't like, or couldn't make. All kinds of fallaways and finger rolls and added the drive this year plus some drop step moves as he had to play power forward. weaknesses; Defense has been a problem, got better this year but in part it was because he played a lot of PF and didn't have to chase quicker guys who had killed him his first 2 years. Shot selection is not always good, and must improve his ballhandling, won't be able to jump over NBA defenders as easily, so he'll need to be able to go around them. Intensity or consistency has been a problem, plays in spurts, gets 15 in 5 minutes, then coasts for 20 minutes before he starts playing well again. Improved greatly in this area last year, but it could be a problem in the NBA. Has a a chance, he's a stronger kid than Rice but otherwise very similar, his range will improve as Rice's has as he gets accustomed to NBA 3's. Scout: Russ Smith More Poop: Gifted offensive player. Shooting range to pro three, can also play inside with much time at the PF position this year. Clutch offensive player as well, (scoring 28 against Grant Hill, 36 in McKale, hit several game winning/tieing shots) Questions about desire and motivation, especially on the defensive end. Not extremley quick or fast, but a good leaper. Can block shots. Cal's all-time scoring leader, with 24 ppg this year. Can also rebound(was leading Pac 10 for a while) Reminisicant of Glen Rice, now with Miami.

He and Aaron McKie were depended upon for most of the scoring, and came through again and again. Jones also was very important as an offensive rebounder, having a knack for being around the ball despite being slightly undersized and having no great big man around to help. He makes up for his lack of size with his incredible leaping ability, making a living from alley oop dunks and finishing the few fast breaks that Temple ran. He was a very good defender in Chaney's strict matchup zone defense. He'll be well prepared for the pros though because the matchup is so aggressive, and forces a half-court game, which many college players have little experience with. His springs and shot-blocking give him the skills to be a one-on-one defender as well. Jones has range out to NBA three point range but he's very streaky. He is able to create his own shot, but is more of a scorer than a shooter. His aggressiveness around the boards allows him to pick up garbage points. Being slightly undersized, he may have trouble getting off his shots against NBA small forwards, and he doesn't have the consistency to play at SG for long periods of time. Also, being at SG a lot would prevent him from using his rebounding skills. Jones is an athletic, disciplined, skilled player who should go between 18 and 24 in the draft. He could be a starter within a couple of years. If he improves his shot, he could be a star.

He sat out his first couple of years at the Dome due to a heart condition similar to that of Reggie Lewis' and Hank Gathers'. There was the possiblity that he might never play again. However, it turned out that his condition was nowhere near as severe as those two, and he came back with a vengeance. His last couple of years, he was the entirety of the offense as he played on horrible teams. Notre Dame was known to upset some of the top teams, however, and this was mostly because of Monty Williams. First and foremost, he is a great scorer. He can score off the dribble, and can pull up and take a jumper. He is most effective when he comes off a screen, however. He came into Cameron to play Duke and torched the Devils for 30+ points, mostly off screens. The Irish led late in the game before they lost in the last couple of minutes. Williams' size is what made the difference in college, as was able to shoot over almost anyone who guarded him. With his great leaping ability, he could also take it the rim. Williams is also a very good rebounder and is very active. However, he's not a great one-on-one defender. His shooting range is also not that great, although as a SF this won't be that big a deal. He's also just a bit thin to play SF in the NBA. With weight training and working on his shot, (like most rookies), he'll be a fine player in the NBA. The only looming question is his heart condition, which may scare off some teams. It apparently is fine, but it may make his stock drop slightly. Still, I expect him to go somewhere between 20-25.

He is a take it to the whole kind of a player with a nice turnaround jumper from the base line. He is a poor ft shooter, just over 50%. Will need to develop a better jump shot and fts in the NBA.

Wrong - this guy is a poor mans Toni Kukoc - and that could be very good. How good is the question. Most likely to end up as a small forward, who can guard pretty much anyone from the opposing shooting guard to the power forward. His outside shot is outstanding, and his height alone will allow him to get it off, especially from dish outs, and over screens. He is also not too bad at creating his own shot, but doesen'tgo all the way to the basket enough, tending to settle on a medium range jump shot. His defense is decent. He is not as quick as you would like, but has excellent hands, and a wide wingspan can make him hard to get round. Rebounding is good - he gets his share of his boards, and being able to control the ball being brought up the court is a skill very few players his size have. Karnishovas was an Academic All-American this year, and he brings his brain to the game. This is a strong draft, and I would expect Karnishovas to go late first round. I have him as the 20th - 25th player in the draft scenerios I have been considering. Normally he woud be higher, but there is a more 'potential' players in this draft than normal, and some people will be taking risks on them. Scout: Paul Osmond ========================================================================== Name: Jervaugh Scales College: Southern Height: 6-7 Weight: 220 Position: Small Forward Other positions: Power Forward Strengths: Rebounding, defense Weakness: Free throw shooting, shooting Stats: Poop: Scalles is an outstanding rebounder (second in the country with 14.4 boards a game as posted a 32 carom effort vs. Grambling on Feb. 7th) who's aggressive and runs the court well. Despite a lack of publicity, he has impressed many NBA scouts. He is a good low-post player and a solid defender. However, like many players in this senior class, he needs to improve his free-throw touch. He also needs to work on his ballhandling and outside shot. Scales averaged 18.7 points and 12.7 rebounds a game last year and is averaging 28.3 points this year, which is also second in the country.

Brian has shown flashes of brilliance which has left UNC fans scratching their and wondering why it did not happen more. At the end of his junior year he had some of his best games and looked forward to a big senior year. However it was not meant to be. A severe sprained ankle on the first day of practice and the emergence of Stackhouse eroded his confidence and he never really looked like a player with any confidence. Offensively, Reese has shown flashes of being a good outside shooter but never any real consistency, always being more comfortable slashing to the basket. Reese is also not a real good ball handler. He is a good offensive rebounder for his size and got a good many points on stickbacks. Defensively, Reese is a very good defender and was used to guard Grant Hill when Phelps was getting a rest. Reese's UNC roots, defense and athletic ability will probably get him drafted in the second round. Reese also played real well at the Portsmouth camp.

His senior year, however, he was a rock of stability the entire year, good for at least ten points and 5 boards, and often coming up much bigger than that. He played great defense all year long, often guarding players who were much bigger and stronger than he was. Lang's best attribute is his offensive rebounding knack. Often known as "Tony Tip-In", he was the garbageman on the team for a long time. But he has a very quick first step and he can really drive to the basket. His offensive game improved when he developed a jumper out to 16'. His foul shooting also improved. He's also very good in transition and is able to finish the break. Tony is a solid defender who is quick enough to cover most small forwards, and is tall enough and a hard enough worker to handle a lot of power forwards. His long arms and good timing make him an excellent shot blocker. Tony is very skinny for his height, which has allowed a lot of players to brush him aside easily. He also has a tendency to disppear in games, passing up shooting opportunities, especially if he's made some mistakes. He's not a great shooter and got a lot of his jumpers to go while he was wide open. His ballhandling skills are also rather primitive, which would be problematic if he's going to play SF in the pros. He also has trouble creating his own shot. He also has had a penchant for getting into foul trouble during his career. This often happens in games when he's not aggressive enough on the offensive end. He probably won't be strong enough to cover post players in the NBA, which means that his shot must improve in order to play SF. Lang's athleticism, enthusiasm, and ability to be a role player might land him a roster spot in the NBA. This year's draft is still pretty thin, so there's a small chance he might go in the first round, but I think it's more likely that he'll go in the second, depending on how he does in the camps.
