2001 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Has a very versatile game equally dangerous whether its posting up or using his great shooting range for the mid-range shot ... Unselfish player and great passer who looks for teammates to get open and recognizes when double team are coming ... Excellent post footwork really knows how to seal off a defender and make himself available to receive the ball ... Likes to use a pump fake when facing the basket and while defender is the air goes to the basket ... Moves very well without the ball something that most players fail to do ... Average ball handler doesn't really try to do fancy things with the ball ... Average three point shooter when feet are set ... Good free throw shooter ... Runs the floor although I wouldn't him a gazelle ...

Weakness: Biggest issue has to be Scalabrine defense as it is far from being at the NBA level due to his below average lateral quickness ... For his height he is a below average rebounder which may have to be the fact that he is somewhat limited in this area thanks to his lack of athleticism ... Not a very good penetrator due to his somewhat slow first step ... Tweener what position will he play as he doesn't have the strength to play power forward and doesn't have the athleticism to play small forward ... Not much of a shot-blocker in part because he lacks the quick leaping ability to make a impact ...
