Scouting reports

Scout: X Elder [xelder@mpdr0.cleveland.oh.ameritech.net]

Being in Ohio myself, I got to see James play several times and I thought last year he was better than most small fowards coming out then.

I think Posey has Pippen-like point forward skills. He is wiry strong and a very intense defender, deceptively quick and smooth. He has that slender basketball body and is mature on and off the court. I think he is very underrated in mock drafts and were I Wayne Emery I'd think long and hard about teaming James with Zydrunas and Kemp. I like Posey as much as Wally because off his defense, quickness and shooting touch and selection.
