nene-hilario The Draft Review - The Draft Review new-york The Draft Review - The Draft Review

2002 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Very athletic player who can jump out the gym and run the floor faster than most guards ... Offensively Hilário is very explosive around the basket as he is a threat for the power dunk ... Defensively he is a terrific shot-blocker capable of redirecting shots and has all the physical tools to be efficient in the NBA such as timing, leaping ability, long arms, and quickness ... A natural rebounder who is a extremely aggressive on the boards ... Due to his mobility and descent ball handling he has the ability to drive in the lane when getting the ball on the high post ... Extremely coordinated in his movements everything looks as though it comes so simple to him ... Due to his young age (19) he has loads of potential something that will work to his advantage on draft day ... Defensively he is blessed with great lateral quickness and quick hands ... Understands what his limits are offensively and rarely shoots shots that are out of his range ... Wonderful offensive rebounder gets a lot of his points on put-backs as he is extremely swift around the basket ... Has a NBA ready body that allows him to play his physical style of ball ...

Weakness: Doesn’t always dominate games like he has the talent to do, as he seems to defer to teammates ... Like many young players he has yet to develop night in night out consistency ... post moves could stand to be refined as he relies on his face-up game to score ... Poor free throw shooter although once he gets into a rhythm he can make them ... Not very confident when shooting from mid-range as his shooting isn’t the best so working on extending his range is a must ... Defensively he needs to learn how to play better perimeter defense as he counts on his shot-blocking ability too much ... Post footwork is still a work in progress as it remains choppy at best ... Wouldn’t hurt if he gained 10 more pounds as the NBA will be a little more physically demanding than the Brazilian leagues ... Double teams can trouble him as he doesn’t always react fast enough ... Below average passer in the post but to his credit Hilário has improved during this past season ...
