john-salmons The Draft Review - The Draft Review san-antonio89-04 The Draft Review - The Draft Review

2002 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Due to his size and skills Salmons is capable proving mismatches almost every game … Extremely versatile player who has played every position but center during his four years at Miami … Plays the game with a calm composed demeanor rarely does he play out of control … Smart player who constantly moves around the basket to set up his low post game as he understands how to use his height on his mismatches … Although not the quickest player he is very deceptive with the ball due to his nice breakdown ability … Wonderful rebounder who enjoys crashing the boards … For his size he is a excellent ball handler and passer often Miami would run plays through him … Team player who understands what is role is in a team concept and rarely tries to exceed it … Above average defender who is blessed with quick hands and decent anticipation skills … Does a good job of drawling fouls when he gets in the lane … Has the court vision and leadership abilities that are needed of point guards …

Weakness: While he has the ability to play point guard he might lack the quickness needed to defend the position … At this moment he is a average 3-point shooter often defenders were able to play off him for the drive … Has some problems getting separation from his defender as he is more deceptive than quick … Isn’t much of a athlete for his size due to his average jumping ability and lack of explosiveness … Salmons could struggle getting his shot off in the NBA … Ball protection could use some improvement as he can be a little turnover prone … Hasn’t fully mastered the point guard position so in reality he is really a combo guard … Doesn’t have a solid mid-range jumper and at time struggles shooting off the dribble … Salmons has loads of things he does decent problem is he really doesn’t do anything spectacular … Could stand to add about 15 more pounds of weight to his body …
