2002 Scouting Report:

Strengths: This Left-handed shooter is a smooth player who runs the court effortless and is an excellent finisher in the open court ... Owns a nice stroke from behind the 3-point line where he can keep opposing defenses honest ... Dominant offensive player who can drop 30 plus points in a game without sweating .... Good rebounder with long arms and leaping ability to help grab board ... Has wonderful body control for a player his size due to this he is capable of shooting off balance jumpers and lean-ins ... His quick first step and good ball handling ability enable him to get pass most defenders for easy drives ... Loves to get in the triple threat position and see how his defender is playing him and will adjust his game accordingly ... Smart has a good grasp of the game and always seems to be a step ahead of everyone else ... Once Rush gets in the lane he has the ability to convert 3-pointers the old fashion way due to his excellent free throw shooting ... Unselfish and a team player two words that many thought his brother (Jarron Rush of UCLA) never heard of in his short career ...

Weakness: While he certainly has plays solid defense he has yet to work on some of his defensive skills such as anticipation and playing the passing lanes better ... While Rush has some athleticism he just isn’t the explosive jump out the gym type player ... Rush received much unwanted attention and as the primary scorer on his team many opposing defenses focused on him causing Rush at times to produce some costly turnovers because of this he will need to improve his ball protection skills ... Mid-range game while good isn’t always consistent but has gotten better each year ... Since getting knocked around earlier in the season Rush has been hesitant to drive to the basket as he now seems more comfortable shooting from the outside …
