2004 Scouting Report:
Strengths: Varejao is a decently athletic player who runs the floor with ease ... Plays the game at a high energy level as he is always active ... Intense player who will hustle to grab any loose balls that come his way ... Has become a much better shooter from the perimeter where he has shown the ability to make the three point shot ... Possesses all the physical and mental tools to be a great rebounder ... Has shown some promising offensive moves when facing the basket ... Efficient offensive player who understands what his strengths are on offense and rarely exceeds them ... Shows a solid work ethic where he has displayed considerable improvement in every facet of the game over the past two years ... Moves well without the ball ... Varejao possess soft touch around the basket where he has range out to 14 -16 feet ... Has a huge upside as he has only scratched the surface of his potential... Plays the passing lanes decently thanks to his great footspeed and lateral quickness ...
Weakness: Offensively his game lacks polish as his back to the basket skills are underdeveloped ... From a fundamental standpoint he is still learning the game ... Due to the intensity level that he plays with, he has a tendency to pick-up quick fouls ... Varejao needs to gain more upper body strength due to the physical nature of the NBA game ... Ball handling can improve as he tends to get careless with the ball on offense ... Although he has shown some good court vision, his passing skills are below average as double teams can trouble him ... Struggles at the free throw line ... Perimeter shooting has greatly improved but not to the point where he is a consistent threat ... Post footwork could stand improvement as it can be sloppy at times ... Decision making on the court remains questionable ... While he has shot blocking ability, his timing isn't all that solid when it comes to anticipating his opponent ...
