How do NBA personnel view this year's crop of guards? davidaldridgedc's sources weigh in. Who accepted coaching? Who at least tried to defend? Are they good teammates? NBA Draft guard confidential, beginning with Scoot Henderson:
. All guards make it from Kentucky. But then, I see his production and how inconsistent it was this year. But then, looking back historically, all of those guys, it was the same deal. There were times where they were great for three or four games straight, and then for three to four games, they were just absolutely horrendous. So I’m not going to put anything by this kid, of not making it.
He’s got to get stronger. He might be a two-way guy until he learns the game. It certainly depends on the franchise he goes to. … I don’t think it’s an unwillingness ; it’s just not a strength. It’s not something he’s really been good at. … Bill really needed his shooting on the floor, so even for a coach of his caliber, he probably let him hide defensively a little bit, more than he normally would. He doesn’t move well laterally. He’s not strong. He’s not quick.
At that guard spot, he has size, but he also has skill. He would have been one of those guys that, back in the day, like Eric Snow played with Iverson. He would have been one of those big point guards that can guard a two, to allow the smaller two guard to guard the point guard. I look at his ability not only to create for himself but to create for others. That’s what makes him really intriguing.
He’s a little immature. He was somebody who you could get into his head, different from Gradey Dick, who just plays. If you were talking to him, he just let it brush it off his shoulder. Whereas Keyonte was more like, oh, really? He wanted to talk back. And you’re like, ‘Man, you don’t even realize how good you are; you shouldn’t even be talking to our guys. Our guys are not NBA guys. You don’t even need to do that.
