gerald-wallace The Draft Review - Gerald Wallace sacramento The Draft Review - Gerald Wallace

2001 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Quite simply Wallace might be one of the most explosive leapers and perhaps one of the most athletic players in the draft ... Excellent transition game a sky-walker who can finish with the best of them ... Can create off the dribble as evident by his ability to draw fouls by gliding in the lane ... Hustles and can play pretty good defense for a player his age thanks to his quickness and hustle ... Wonderful rebounder for a player of his size due to his quick hops ... Has the ability to hit the jumper from about 20 feet out ... Is starting to develop a solid mid range game although this is still a work in progress ... The biggest thing that will get Wallace drafted is that he has a huge amount of potential which will make it impossible for gm's to pass him by ...

Weakness: Has still not refined his jump shot as of right now he is not a threat to hit the 3-point shot ... Could stand to tone up his body more and develop some upper body strength as he is a little on the thin side ... Turns the ball over a lot considering that he doesn't usually have the ball in his hands this speaks a little bit about his carelessness and his needed improvement when it comes to ball handling ... Shot selection still isn't all that great although he did make some improvement ... Mid range jumper has a tendency to go hot and cold must continue to work on his follow through so his jumper can be more accurate ... Gets to the free throw line but doesn't take advantage because of his poor free throw shooting although I think this has more to do with his confidence than ability as in the beginning of the year he was making his free throws ... Must become a better passer and know when to give the ball up ...
