Draft Profiles: Nik Stauskas, 6’6, SG, Michigan, 210 lbs., Sophomore
Athletic Ability Stauskas is a below average athlete by shooting guard standards.  At this NBA level, he lacks burst and lateral quickness.  While not a great athlete, Stauskas does have some surprising hops occasionally.  The way Stauskas is able to get by with limited athleticism is through understanding the game and great size...

Draft Profiles: Zach LaVine, 6’5, SG, UCLA, 185 lbs., Freshman

Draft Profiles: Zach LaVine, 6’5, SG, UCLA, 185 lbs., Freshman
Athletically, LaVine is just as talented as any player in this draft and that includes Wiggins.  In fact, LaVine has a chance to be one of the best athletes in the NBA.  At 6’5, a nice wing-span, great vertical explosiveness, great north/south speed, and great lateral quickness, LaVine has all the tools to be a great player at the next level...

Draft profiles: Sergey Karasev, 6'7, 200 lbs., SG/SF, Russia

Draft profiles: Sergey Karasev, 6'7, 200 lbs., SG/SF, Russia
Athletically, Karasev is going to have concerns at the next level.   In terms of lateral quickness and hops, Karasev isn't athletic enough to defend SGs in the NBA, nor is he big or strong enough to defend SFs.  He'll likely struggle to defend against players who can create off the dribble though at 6’7 with a decent wing-span he'll have some ability to defend smaller players with his size and positioning...
