Draft Profiles: P.J. Hairston, 6’5, SF,DLeague, 230 lbs.

Draft Profiles: P.J. Hairston, 6’5, SF,DLeague, 230 lbs.
Athletic Ability Athletically, Hairston is probably average in most components compared to many small forwards.  However, with his build, he can probably be considered above average in terms of strength and and ability to knock opponents off their position.   As a wing defender, many shooting guards might be able to use their quickness to keep Hairston off balance...

Draft Profiles: K.J. McDaniels, 6'6, SG/SF, 205 lbs., Clemson, Junior

Draft Profiles: T.J. Warren, 6’8, SF, N.C. State, 220 lbs., Sophomore

Draft Profiles: T.J. Warren, 6’8, SF, N.C. State, 220 lbs., Sophomore

Athletically, Warren is an average athlete at the small forward position.  It might take time for him to adjust to NBA speed athletically based since he mainly played power forward on defense in college.  However, Warren has enough athleticism to be solid at the next level.  ...

Draft profiles: Darius miller, 6'8, 235 lbs, SF, Kentucky, Senior

Draft profiles: Darius miller, 6'8, 235 lbs, SF, Kentucky, Senior
Miller's been an under-rated and unselfish piece for the last four seasons with Kentucky.  For other teams in college basketball, Miller would have more than likely been a low number 1/high number 2 type scorer.  It is ridiculous that for a college team, Miller was a 6th man, but with their semi-pro type talent, he adjusted to the role well.  Miller’s game is built to be solid and should translate at the next level...

Draft profiles: Jeffery Taylor, 6'7, 225 lbs., SF, Vanderbilt, Senior

Draft profiles: Jeffery Taylor, 6'7, 225 lbs., SF, Vanderbilt, Senior
Jeffery Taylor, an amazing talent, leaves you wanting more.  At his best, he fits the description of the ideal small forward; smart, heady, good defender, rangy, athletic, can handle the ball some (not great, but not a liability), and can shoot some.   However, he lacks consistency in all areas nearly every game. ...

Kyle Singler draft profile

Kyle Singler (Duke)6’8, SF/PF, 230 lbs. I thought I would post this to give you a case of  “Duke-itis.”   In all seriousness, Kyle Singler has been a very productive Dukie throughout his career.  Kyle excelled at Duke as a role player by playing average defense, knocking down open shots, occasionally taking a player off the...

Klay Thompson draft profile

Klay Thompson (Washington State)6’7, 205 lbs., SG/SF Coming out of Washington State, Klay is somewhat unknown to the casual basketball fan.  However, in basketball circles, Thompson has a chance to be one of the better players from this draft and more specifically one of the better shooters. Offensively, Klay does well in the catch-and-shoot situations,... Read more »
