Poop:
Grant Hill came into the Duke program with unlimited potential and
left it as its best all-around player ever. As a frosh, he battled
injury problems to become Duke's highest scoring frosh (11 ppg) since
the Dawkins/Alarie days. As a sophomore, he became an unstoppable
weapon in transition and even stepped in at point guard when Bobby
Hurley was injured. As a junior, he became the leading scorer and the
team's best defender. And as a senior, he proved to be the most
versatile player in the country, leading a young team to great
heights.
Grant is expected to be a top five pick, perhaps even a lottery
pick. Before this year, some had questioned his toughness, saying
that he had been too passive a player to be an immediate impact player
in the NBA. Many questioned his shooting range, and his willingness
to take the three pointer. Many also questioned his leadership
ability after being content to let fiery guys like Laettner and Hurley
lead the team. Grant answered all these questions as a senior. He
proved that he was a good three point shooter, willing to take the
shot whenever needed (see the Florida and Arkansas games). He took a
young team, played out of position at point guard and led it to a big
season. He just took over some games offensively when the rest of the
team was slumping. But his real value was making the rest of his
teammates better, getting them involved in the game, continuing to
feed them the ball even if they were slumping. His game was a perfect
blend of unselfishness and aggressivness.
As for his skills, they seem made for the NBA. I think he'll make a
big impact quickly primarily for his defense. He can guard quick
players, power players, and top shooters and make them disappear.
He's effective out on the perimeter or doubling down low. He can
block shots and make spectacular strips. He plays well in the
halfcourt, but is made for a transition game. He can finish and make
foul shots. His rebounding is excellent, and is more impressive
because he's excellent at positioning. I haven't even mentioned his
incredible athleticism--this alone sets him apart from other Duke
players.
His only weak spot is his shooting. His shot has improved greatly
since coming to Duke, but he's still not a great shooter. He also
might be a little reticent at first to take his jumper. He's also
been injury-prone at times in his career, although he was healthy this
year. Grant might take awhile to take charge of a team he's on, but
within two years, he should be a major impact player.
I see him as a Steve Smith sort of player, a guy who doesn't really
have a defined position but can run the offense, stick jumpers, and
get into the post. A smart team would use him in as many places as
possible.

Poop:
Donyell Marshall is a consensus first team all-American, generally
considered to have been the 2nd or 3rd best collegian this year. He
was the Big East player of the year and also Big East defensive player
of the year. He is expected to go in the first half of the lottery.
As a 6'9" bean pole, he is a versatile player, generally considered to
be primarily a small forward prospect for the NBA. (A reasonable
comparison might be to Vin Baker.) At Connecticut he played both SF
and PF. To compare with the prototype NBA SF (Scottie Pippen), Donyell
is less effective in perimeter D, and in ball handling. However he is
stronger off the glass and as a shot blocker.
Along with his height, Donyell has long arms and is a quick leaper,
which make him a very effective shot blocker. He excelled at interior
help D (e.g. an opponent would post up one of UConn's undersized
power players, and Donyell would come flying in to swat the shot
away).
Marshall's most impressive offense is in transition sequences where
he'd grab a rebound, dribble half way up the court in medium traffic,
dish the ball, and then get it back for a tomahawk slam. His bread and
butter from the half court is the midrange turn around J, a shot he
will likely be able to get in the NBA. Donyell is effective off the
offensive boards and has reasonable post moves. In college most of his
interior scoring was in transition or off rebounds because teams would
collapse to deny him the ball inside. Donyell lacks the strength to
bull his way inside, and while he's quick in the air, he's not so
quick off the dribble. His shot facing the basket is adequate (good
for his height, but not above average for an NBA small forward).
The main negative about Donyell is that he seems to have somewhat
fragile confidence that leads him to frustrate easily. This was most
obvious in the NCAA tournament where at the end of a poor game he
missed two free throws that would have most likely given Connecticut a
win over Florida (this from a player who set a Big East record for
most free thows in a game without a miss, and has consistently been a
prime time pressure performer). Marshall's stock fell slightly as he
had a poor post season compared to other top players like Grant Hill
and Juwan Howard. Donyell was not regarded as highly coming into this
year as he probably deserved because (I believe) he had been willing
to play second fiddle behind the team's more experienced stars during
previous seasons.

Poop:
Lamond is a great athlete, strong upper body, long arms, good spring
with good quickness. He probably isn't really 6'7" however, but he's
as big as Glen Rice, a guy he reminds me of.
Strengths:although he's a good shooter, I don't think its really as
big of a strength as some think, he's not in cousin Tracy's class as a
pure shooter, but he's much better at gettin his own shot because of
superior jumping ability, long arms, and a high release that's tough
to block. Never met a shot he didn't like, or couldn't make. All
kinds of fallaways and finger rolls and added the drive this year plus
some drop step moves as he had to play power forward.
weaknesses; Defense has been a problem, got better this year but in
part it was because he played a lot of PF and didn't have to chase
quicker guys who had killed him his first 2 years. Shot selection is
not always good, and must improve his ballhandling, won't be able to
jump over NBA defenders as easily, so he'll need to be able to go
around them. Intensity or consistency has been a problem, plays in
spurts, gets 15 in 5 minutes, then coasts for 20 minutes before he
starts playing well again. Improved greatly in this area last year,
but it could be a problem in the NBA.
Has a a chance, he's a stronger kid than Rice but otherwise very
similar, his range will improve as Rice's has as he gets accustomed to
NBA 3's.

More Poop:
Gifted offensive player. Shooting range to pro three, can also play
inside with much time at the PF position this year. Clutch offensive
player as well, (scoring 28 against Grant Hill, 36 in McKale, hit
several game winning/tieing shots) Questions about desire and
motivation, especially on the defensive end. Not extremley quick or
fast, but a good leaper. Can block shots. Cal's all-time scoring
leader, with 24 ppg this year. Can also rebound(was leading Pac 10 for
a while) Reminisicant of Glen Rice, now with Miami.

Poop:
Eddie Jones was a member of Temple's supercharged troika of scorers
on a team with little depth. He and Aaron McKie were depended upon
for most of the scoring, and came through again and again. Jones also
was very important as an offensive rebounder, having a knack for being
around the ball despite being slightly undersized and having no great
big man around to help. He makes up for his lack of size with his
incredible leaping ability, making a living from alley oop dunks and
finishing the few fast breaks that Temple ran.
He was a very good defender in Chaney's strict matchup zone defense.
He'll be well prepared for the pros though because the matchup is so
aggressive, and forces a half-court game, which many college players
have little experience with. His springs and shot-blocking give him
the skills to be a one-on-one defender as well.
Jones has range out to NBA three point range but he's very streaky.
He is able to create his own shot, but is more of a scorer than a
shooter. His aggressiveness around the boards allows him to pick up
garbage points. Being slightly undersized, he may have trouble
getting off his shots against NBA small forwards, and he doesn't have
the consistency to play at SG for long periods of time. Also, being
at SG a lot would prevent him from using his rebounding skills.
Jones is an athletic, disciplined, skilled player who should go
between 18 and 24 in the draft. He could be a starter within a couple
of years. If he improves his shot, he could be a star.

Poop:
Monty Williams is an amazing comeback story. He sat out his first
couple of years at the Dome due to a heart condition similar to that
of Reggie Lewis' and Hank Gathers'. There was the possiblity that he
might never play again. However, it turned out that his condition was
nowhere near as severe as those two, and he came back with a
vengeance. His last couple of years, he was the entirety of the
offense as he played on horrible teams. Notre Dame was known to upset
some of the top teams, however, and this was mostly because of Monty
Williams.
First and foremost, he is a great scorer. He can score off the
dribble, and can pull up and take a jumper. He is most effective when
he comes off a screen, however. He came into Cameron to play Duke and
torched the Devils for 30+ points, mostly off screens. The Irish led
late in the game before they lost in the last couple of minutes.
Williams' size is what made the difference in college, as was able to
shoot over almost anyone who guarded him. With his great leaping
ability, he could also take it the rim.
Williams is also a very good rebounder and is very active. However,
he's not a great one-on-one defender. His shooting range is also not
that great, although as a SF this won't be that big a deal. He's also
just a bit thin to play SF in the NBA. With weight training and
working on his shot, (like most rookies), he'll be a fine player in
the NBA. The only looming question is his heart condition, which may
scare off some teams. It apparently is fine, but it may make his
stock drop slightly. Still, I expect him to go somewhere between
20-25.

1994 Wooden Award candidate...Earned All-Conference honors for the
third time in his illustrious career...Earned Metro Conference
Player-of-the-week honors 3 times last year, missed half of the
season with broken foot...A member of the Foot Locker NIT All-Star
team this summer that traveled to Puerto Rico and Milan,Italy...Only
the second player in VCU history to record 1,000 points, 500
rebounds, 100 assists, 100 steals, and 100 blocked shots in his
career...Ranks in the top 10 in 10 different career statistical
categories at VCU...Listed as the top small foward prospect by The
Sporting News for the 1994 Draft...Warren is a native of Richmond.
Listed as 6-8 220lbs. Remember this program was published before his
season started. I believe he was 3rd in the nation in rebounds last
year, was again on the all conference team. He is a take it to the
whole kind of a player with a nice turnaround jumper from the base
line. He is a poor ft shooter, just over 50%. Will need to develop a
better jump shot and fts in the NBA. Never played on a VCU team with
even and AVERAGE center, had to help out inside quite often.

Poop:
Some project Karnishovas as a power forward because of his height.
Wrong - this guy is a poor mans Toni Kukoc - and that could be very
good. How good is the question. Most likely to end up as a small
forward, who can guard pretty much anyone from the opposing shooting
guard to the power forward.
His outside shot is outstanding, and his height alone will allow him
to get it off, especially from dish outs, and over screens. He is also
not too bad at creating his own shot, but doesen'tgo all the way to
the basket enough, tending to settle on a medium range jump shot.
His defense is decent. He is not as quick as you would like, but has
excellent hands, and a wide wingspan can make him hard to get round.
Rebounding is good - he gets his share of his boards, and being able
to control the ball being brought up the court is a skill very few
players his size have. Karnishovas was an Academic All-American this
year, and he brings his brain to the game.
This is a strong draft, and I would expect Karnishovas to go late
first round. I have him as the 20th - 25th player in the draft
scenerios I have been considering. Normally he woud be higher, but
there is a more 'potential' players in this draft than normal, and
some people will be taking risks on them.

Scalles is an outstanding rebounder (second in the country with 14.4

who's aggressive and runs the court well. Despite a lack of publicity,
he has impressed many NBA scouts. He is a good low-post player and a
solid defender. However, like many players in this senior class, he
needs to improve his free-throw touch. He also needs to work on his
ballhandling and outside shot. Scales averaged 18.7 points and 12.7
rebounds a game last year and is averaging 28.3 points this year, which
is also second in the country.

A carbon copy of Greg Minor? From their stats it seems very close,
Like Minor, Morton played both the one, two and three spots. His
three point shooting went down from last year but that probably had
more to do with a serious wrist injury than anything else. Also, like
Minor, Morton is a good (but not great )defender

Poop:
Reese never really did reach the expectations that followed him
to UNC. Brian has shown flashes of brilliance which has left UNC
fans scratching their and wondering why it did not happen more.
At the end of his junior year he had some of his best games and
looked forward to a big senior year. However it was not meant to
be. A severe sprained ankle on the first day of practice and the
emergence of Stackhouse eroded his confidence and he never really
looked like a player with any confidence.
Offensively, Reese has shown flashes of being a good outside shooter
but never any real consistency, always being more comfortable slashing
to the basket. Reese is also not a real good ball handler. He
is a good offensive rebounder for his size and got a good many points
on stickbacks.
Defensively, Reese is a very good defender and was used to guard
Grant Hill when Phelps was getting a rest.
Reese's UNC roots, defense and athletic ability will probably get
him drafted in the second round. Reese also played real well at
the Portsmouth camp.

Review: 6-7, 220 PF. Didn't get much of a chance to show anything
other than a post up game - due to KU's system.
Strengths: Good post moves. A hard worker and aggressive. Excellent
defender. Good ball handler and passer. Runs the floor well.
Weakness: Lack of size at PF slot, more of a SG/F. Been injured
during his senior year. Some of his shooting skills. Rebounding.
Overall: Be a good 2nd or 3rd round pick. A project for anyone who

Poop:
Tony Lang was a heralded high school player who showed flashes of
brilliance his first three years, but struggled with inconsistency,
injuries, and a lack of strength. His senior year, however, he was a
rock of stability the entire year, good for at least ten points and 5
boards, and often coming up much bigger than that. He played great
defense all year long, often guarding players who were much bigger and
stronger than he was.
Lang's best attribute is his offensive rebounding knack. Often
known as "Tony Tip-In", he was the garbageman on the team for a long
time. But he has a very quick first step and he can really drive to
the basket. His offensive game improved when he developed a jumper
out to 16'. His foul shooting also improved. He's also very good in
transition and is able to finish the break.
Tony is a solid defender who is quick enough to cover most small
forwards, and is tall enough and a hard enough worker to handle a lot
of power forwards. His long arms and good timing make him an
excellent shot blocker.
Tony is very skinny for his height, which has allowed a lot of
players to brush him aside easily. He also has a tendency to disppear
in games, passing up shooting opportunities, especially if he's made
some mistakes. He's not a great shooter and got a lot of his jumpers
to go while he was wide open. His ballhandling skills are also rather
primitive, which would be problematic if he's going to play SF in the
pros. He also has trouble creating his own shot. He also has had a
penchant for getting into foul trouble during his career. This often
happens in games when he's not aggressive enough on the offensive end.
He probably won't be strong enough to cover post players in the NBA,
which means that his shot must improve in order to play SF.
Lang's athleticism, enthusiasm, and ability to be a role player
might land him a roster spot in the NBA. This year's draft is still
pretty thin, so there's a small chance he might go in the first round,
but I think it's more likely that he'll go in the second, depending on
how he does in the camps.
