FICTIONAL DRAFT CLASS

SCOUTING REPORTBy: BBlom13

#1- SF Jamon Vaughn

BIOVAUGHN IS A TRUE ENIGMA IN TERMS OF BEING A DRAFT PROSPECT. AS A HIGHLY-TOUTED RECRUIT HE SHOCKED THE WORLD BY SIGNING WITH WISCONSIN, A TEAM WITH A SYSTEM THAT COULDN'T BE WORSE FOR MAXIMIZING HIS GREATEST TALENT: HIS ATHLETICISM. NOT ONLY DID HE SIGN WITH A TEAM WHOSE STYLE DOESN'T FIT HIM, HE CAME BACK TO SCHOOL (TWICE!) WHEN HE WAS SUREFIRE LOTTERY PICK IN EACH OF THE PAST TWO DRAFTS. FOR THOSE REASONS YOU CAN SEE THAT HE CLEARLY VALUES IMPROVING HIS GAME AND IT HAS WORKED WELL AS HE'S IMPROVED HIS JUMPER AND DEFENSIVE FUNDAMENTALS A GREAT DEAL IN HIS 3 YEARS AT WISCONSIN. BUT FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS SUCH A CLEAR MIND IN TERMS OF IMPROVING AT BASKETBALL, IT'S SHOCKING TO SEE HIS OVERALL LACK OF MATURITY. HE WAS EXPELLED FROM TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WAS GIVEN THREE MINORS IN HIS FRESHMAN YEAR ALONE, AND DURING HIS SOPHOMORE SEASON PUNCHED A FAN IN A PARKING LOT AFTER A LOSS. HE'S ALSO BEEN EJECTED FROM FOUR GAMES IN HIS COLLEGE CAREER DUE TO FIGHTING, EXCESSIVE TAUNTING AND BERATING A REFEREE. HOWEVER, THIS PAST YEAR HAD NO ISSUES AND DESPITE BEING HELD-BACK IN WISCONSIN'S SYSTEM HE'S HAD A REMARKABLE COLLEGE CAREER AND STILL STANDS TO BE AN ELITE NBA PROSPECT. IF THIS KID CAN GET HIS MENTAL ISSUES STRAIGHTENED OUT HE WILL BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH IN THE NBA.

#1- SF Jamon Vaughn

STRENGTHS: VAUGHN IS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A GENETIC FREAK. NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE EXCELLENT SIZE FOR AN NBA 3 AT 6’9, BUT HIS ATHLETICISM IS OFF THE CHARTS. HE USES THAT TO HIS ADVANTAGE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, AS HE ROUTINELY BLOWS BY DEFENDERS OFF THE DRIBBLE (OR OVERPOWERS THEM) AND FINISHES WITH A HIGHLIGHT REEL DUNK. HE’S A TRUE MISMATCH WITH COMBINATION OF SIZE, ATHLETICISM AND SURPRISINGLY GOOD MIDRANGE GAME. ALSO HAS EVERY TOOL NECESSARY TO BE AN ELITE NBA DEFENDER AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

WEAKNESSES: REMEMBER WHEN I CALLED HIM A GENETIC FREAK? WELL HE’S BEEN A MENTAL ONE TOO. HIS OFF THE COURT BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN IMMATURE TO SAY THE LEAST AND HAS HAD BIG BLOWUPS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DURING GAMES. WHILE IT HAS IMPROVED YEAR BY YEAR, IT’S STILL A CONCERN. ALSO HAS A FAIRLY LOW BASKETBALL IQ WHICH LEADS TO MENTAL LAPSES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. HE LACKS EFFICIENCY AS A SCORER AT THIS POINT, AND TURNS IT OVER AT A HIGH RATE.
