jiri-welsch The Draft Review - The Draft Review philadelphia The Draft Review - The Draft Review

2002 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Good size combo guard who has the ability to play either backcourt positions ... Defensively he is a good defender in terms of European standards ... Has a lot of point guard qualities as he is blessed with good court vision, leadership, and a great feel for the game ... Pushes the ball hard up the court in order to initiate the fast break once started he does a good job of getting the ball to the right person to finish ... Offensively he has the ability to take his defender inside and outside ... Owns a semi quick first step that he uses to gain penetration in the lane ... When his feet are set he is a very capable three point shooter ... If the defender is guarding him for penetration Welsch is armed with a excellent mid-range jumper ... Unselfish as he will often penetrate and dish to wide open teammates ... Solid free throw shooter ...

Weakness: Defensively Welsch might struggle guarding quicker guards as lateral quickness isn’t the best ... Ball handling will need to be upgraded a tad if he is to play the point guard position ... Upper body strength needs to be improved upon as he has a slight body build and could use some extra weight ... Although he does have 3-point range he remains streaky ... Below average rebounder for a player his size at his position ... Still developing a point guard’s mentality due to his habit of setting up his own offense rather that his teammates ... Has a habit of making an easy shot harder than it has to be it’s almost as though he neglects to use what advantage he has over the defender ...
