2003 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Intelligent basketball player who has a great understanding of the ins and outs of the game from a fundamental standpoint... Decent ball handler who has no problem leading the break ... One of the best shooters in the entire country. He can spot up behind the 3-point line or hit the mid-range shot with a pull-up jumper... Good passer who is blessed with solid court vision ... Does a really good job at hitting the open jump shot from the perimeter when his feet are set... Moves well without the ball and most importantly knows how to utilize screens to get open looks ... Has become better at creating scoring opportunities for himself and no longer has to rely on a setup man... Excellent free throw shooter capable of making high pressure free throws...

Weakness: Defensively he will have trouble guarding the athletic players in the NBA due to his average athleticism and lack of lateral quickness ... Needs to work on better ball protection as he can be turnover prone at times ... Doesn't have the best upper body strength although this is certainly improving ... Not much of a leaper which can work against him in the area of rebounding ... Defensive instincts need to be learned such as anticipation, and defensive footwork although to his credit this has improved ... Sometimes he focuses solely on scoring instead of setting up his teammates ... Doesn't drive to the basket all that much as he has problems gaining separation from his defender...
