Liabilities
Afflalo is a decent athlete but not a great one capable of dominating defenders with his explosiveness … Lacks the first step to gain full separation from his defender … There are times where he becomes too perimeter oriented offensively … Would benefit more if he attacked the basket where he can put pressure on the defense … Ball handling is okay but could stand to be refined as he isn’t comfortable when pressure is applied … Some have questioned his ability to create scoring opportunities for himself … Due to his athleticism, he is closer to reaching the ceiling … Can go through periods where his jumper is inconsistent … May struggle in an up-tempo offense where quickness is a bigger factor than in a half court set … Doesn’t always look to dominate opponents, has a habit of being too passive (although he is improved) … Despite being a solid free throw shooter Afflalo’s style of play rarely allows for him to draw fouls and get to the free throw line … Lack of lift limits his ability to finish on the break and shoot over athletic defenders ...
