NBA Comparison: Luke Walton
Strengths: Intangibles player who contributes in a little bit of everything, often the glue-player
of the team...Growing up under a basketball coach, is wise beyond his years and plays with poise and like a veteran...Capable
passer who likes to post up his man and pass off curls to cutters...Tends to make everyone around him better...Solid offensive
rebounder with some hustle and heart...Decent strength for the SF position...Improving offensive game with improving range
and stroke...Has shown some capacity of posting up his man and making quick spin moves to get layups or draw fouls...Good
ballhandling skills, court vision, and basketball IQ...
Weaknesses: Not a real reliable offensive player, his man often leaves him open for jumpshots...Not
a good scorer. Jumpshot often misses more than makes...Lacks athleticism and speed, which affects him offensively and defensively...Offensively,
lacks explosiveness and a first step to drive to the basket efficiently...Defensively lacks the athleticism and footspeed
to keep up with the NBA perimeter players, and lacks height and strength against NBA bigs...Can be a "tweener", and he may
need to be rotated between positions throughout the course of the game...
