Scouting Reports

I really like this guy. Some think him between positions, but that should not matter to the Lakers with their need for big guards in their system. There is great disagreement where he will go in the draft, some have him a mid to late 1st rounder, others a late 2nd rounder if he makes it at all. If the Lakers did not have such a need for a big man he would be a great 29th pick and if he is still around in the 2nd round he will be the steal of the draft.

Chris Carrawell is a senior at Duke, a true swingman he has the skills and size to play both the shooting guard or small forward position in the NBA. An outstanding athlete with exceptional ballhandling skills, he has even played at point guard in college. He is an all around player who does a good job on both offense and defense. And, it does not hurt that he comes out of one of the best basketball programs in the NCAA.

He is a steady shooter from beyond the arc and had a streak of 27 games with hitting at least one three pointer in a game, though he prefers to shoot his jumper from mid ranges where he is more accurate. He is good at driving to the basket with a very good first step and the ability to finish. He shows good shot selection and is good at scoring in transition. In the post he can score with a nice hook shot or by ducking low and driving past his defender. He moves well without the ball, has the ability to shoot off the dribble and is a fairly good free thrower at 78%.

He is an above average ballhandler and passer, who averages 3.2 assists per game with an excellent assist to turnover ratio of 1.6. He is a good rebounder for his size and is not afraid of contact below the boards. On defense his quick feet and long reach make him an excellent defender able to guard fast point guards to larger forwards. He is a good shot blocker and rarely gets out of position searching for blocks or steals.

During his early years at Duke he was overshadowed by several players now playing in the NBA. This year he has started to shine in his own right, while still remaining an integral part of one of the best teams in the NBA. Four years at Duke served him well, he improved his shooting and ballhandling and has become a well polished player with good fundamentals. He has been invited to the Desert Classic and if he does well may go in the 1st round of the draft, but there is a chance he may slip to the 2nd round if some more underclassmen declare.

His averages per game are 35.6 minutes, 17 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 fouls, 0.9 steals, 2 turnovers, 1.1 blocks, makes 6 of 12.4 filed goals (48%), 0.8 of 2.2 three pointers (36%) and 4.1 of 5.2 free throws (78%).
