Additional Information
Sam Clancy, Southern California's leading scorer and rebounder last season, has withdrawn his name from the 2001 NBA draft and will return to the Trojans for his senior season.
CNNSI.com (June 16th)

He was solid, but not dominating enough to ensure a first-round pick. He was talking all week about returning to school. If he doesn't then he's got a shot at late first or early second.

Strengths: Excellent post player really knows how to use his wide body to gain position on the blocks ..... Mobile runs the court well and plays with a tremendous amount of energy .... Long wingspan and quick leaping ability enable him to block any shots that might come his way .... Good rebounder really knows how to use his body underneath the basket to set up excellent position ..... Has very good post footwork this enables him to get off shots over taller opponents .... Has very good touch around the basket range continues out to 12 feet .... Super athletic this alone makes him a valuable prospect ..... Has a strong NBA ready body that can take contact and finish when hit in traffic.... Because of his physical game Clancy visits the free throw line often .....

Weakness: Biggest question facing Clancy concerns his height although listed at 6-7 he looks closer to 6-6 .... Ball handling isn't very good as he not comfortable with the ball in his hands .... Perimeter shooting is below average just doesn't have enough range on his shot needs to extend his range to at least 18 feet out .... Shot selection still isn't the best although it is steadily improving .... Classic tweener too short to play power forward and not enough perimeter skills to play small forward ..... Although he gets to the line often he doesn't take advantage of it as he has yet to become a solid free throw shooter but he is getting better .... Not much of a passer basically a black the ball goes in and doesn't come back out ...
