Scouting Reports
|
OK he is not
the type that could play center, he may not even be able to play power forward
in the NBA, but he is such an aggressive rebounder you just can't ignore him. He
kind of reminds me of Dennis Rodman (the good part) and if Phil Jackson wants a
replacement this could be the guy. Probably a 2nd round pick, if the Lakers
picked up a center/power forward in the 1st round this guy might be a nice 2nd
round pick.
Mark Madsen
is nicknamed "Mad Dog" and he lives up to his name. More the size for
a small forward in the NBA he may make it as a power forward out of shear
toughness and hustle. He is a limited scorer but averages 12.5 points per game,
an outstanding rebounder averaging 9.4 per game and one of the scrappiest
players in the NCAA.
He has a
high field goal percentage of 60%, but his scoring ability is limited and may
not transfer to the NBA. He can hit a jumper from 15' but his shot looks
horrible and he is slow moving into it. He is a good low post player where he
has excellent ballhandling abilities and is able to work his way into the
defenders weakness, and finish with a high percentage up and under or turnaround
hook. Unfortunately he is a poor free throw shooter at 58%, so defenders will
foul him rather than let him have the high percentage shot.
He is a good
aggressive defender and has the strength to match up with bigger players. He is
not a good passer and does not use good judgment in giving up the ball to open
men on offense. He is a great rebounder, he blocks out well and is very hard to
get around or push out of position, he just seems to have a nose for the ball
and get more than his share of boards for a player his size.
He spent two
years on a Mormon mission before returning to play basketball. Some doubt he
will make it to the NBA, but with his energy and enthusiasm I know he will make
it. Most likely a 2nd rounder he has been invited to the Desert Classic
pre-draft camp.
His averages
per game are 27 minutes,12.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 2.2 fouls, 0.5
steals, 1.5 turnovers, 0.8 blocks, makes 4.8 of 8 field goals (60%) and 2.9 of 5
free throws (58%).

A tough defender and
a player that does all the intangibles that help a team win he is likely to go
early in the 2nd round. He may not be right for the Lakers as he has played in
a up tempo offense and may not be able to adapt to a half court game.
Jake Voskuhl is a
senior at Connecticut where he has played center. He is a little small to play
NBA center but should be able to play at power forward. He is a fair scorer
averaging 8.7 points per game, a decent rebounder with 6.3 per game and has
very good fundamentals.
He has never been
much of an offensive player, but he has soft hands and can hit a short face up
or turnaround jumper. He has good agility and lateral speed which allows him to
take the ball to the basket from even high in the lane with a hard dribble.
More importantly on offense he does all the intangibles that help his teammates
score, like setting screens and occupying opposing centers and power forwards.
He is a very good
shot blocker averaging 1.4 per game. He is a good rebounder around the basket
and averages 6.3 per game. He is a tough and physical defender inside and was
named the team defensive player of the year once. Unfortunately like most
aggressive defenders he can get in foul trouble seriously limiting his minutes.
He attended Pete
Newell's big man camp and is invited to the Portsmouth Invitational pre-draft
camp. He has a good chance of making it to the NBA but will most likely be a
2nd round pick.
His averages per game
are 23 minutes, 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.7 fouls, 0.5 steals,
1.8 turnovers, 1.4 blocks, makes 3.3 of 5.7 field goals (58%) and 2.2 of 3.2
free throws (69%).
