Tremendous all-around talent, with several NBA-level skills. Great size and physical strength for a small forward with his quickness; good ability to post up thinner opponents. Has an "old school game" with soft jumper, fluid movements, and adequate court vision. Lightning-quick first step and tremendous leaper with great explosion to the basket. His medium range jump-shot is his most consistent weapon, but three-point ability is definitely there. Has improved on ball-handling since freshman season, but still needs a lot of work to play sm. forward at next level. Rebounds and block shots well when needed. At times, looked bored in college. Played for a tremendous coach at Kansas, (Roy Williams) who also helped groom the likes of Jordan, Worthy, and Dougherty as an assistant at UNC. He's a very polished performer who understands fundamentals are more productive than 360 dunks. Pierce is sure-fire future All-Star who should blossom by his 2nd season. |

Paul isn't likely to slip below the top 5 in this draft. NBA scouts love his ability to consistently hit the pull-up jumper off the dribble from 18 feet in. He moves well without the ball, has good hands and is strong on the boards. Defensively he's improved a lot in his 3 years at Kansas and is now adequate by NBA standards but has plenty of room to improve. Paul has only two weaknesses: he turns the ball over quite a bit and his outside shot is inconsistent. The turnovers are generally due to carelessness. He is a good enough ballhandler and is a very good passer, but he tends to dribble into traffic and lose the ball. This can and will be corrected. The outside shooting is more puzzling. As a sophomore, Paul hit almost 47% of his 3 point FG attempts, but regressed as a junior to under 35%. His form and release are excellent, but he went through streaks this season when he couldn't hit a 3, then would get red-hot (see Oklahoma game) then cold again. I expect that in time he will become a solid 35+% 3 point shooter, but may struggle for a few years. Paul is young- he turns 21 in October, and has a huge upside. He's a potential all-star caliber player as a small forward. |

He's definite NBA talent, he's got great size for a small forward. He can create a shot, he can shoot the long jumper, he can take it to the basket, he can dunk in traffic, he's a good offensive rebounder and I think he can be a very good defensive player in the NBA. |
