Additional Information
Good kid, good player. But a lottery pick? Gooden's not a lock either way. He's a classic college 'tweener right now, though he does have upside. Reminds some of Keith Van Horn, who's now a classic NBA 'tweener. "Right now, (Gooden's) just kind of a forward," a Midwest talent evaluator says. "In time he'll be fine as a four, because his body will fill out. You have to wait a little on him. But he played at a pretty damn high level this year." He impressed others by trying to go more inside this season for the Jayhawks and leading that team to the Final Four, and while there are questions about Gooden's abilities to guard small forwards, the new zone rules are tailor-made for guys like him that might need protection on the wing.
