2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Andy Rautins


Position: Shooting Guard

Size: 6-5, 195

School: Syracuse, Senior


Strengths:

Absolute sharp shooter from three

Range starts once he crosses halfcourt

Catch and shoot ability

Quick release

Outstanding court vision

Terrific passer

Incredibly underrated defender

Does a great job of getting his hand in passing lanes

Incredible basketball IQ



Weaknesses:

Lacks ideal athleticism for an NBA two guard

Physicality

Played entirely in a 2-3 zone so doesn't have much man-to-man experience on defense

Summary: Known primarily as a three-point assassin during his career at Syracuse, Rautins developed into a solid all-around player which makes him an interesting prospect. A team that is need of an intelligent sharpshooter might take a chance on him in the second round. His lack of ideal athleticism limits his potential effectiveness at the next level but I still think he could be a valuable bench player for some team.

Player Comparison: Anthony Parker. Parker has made a living in the NBA due to his three-point shooting and defensive abilities which have allowed him to be a valuable role player. Rautins will need to be a similar player if he has any hopes of playing in the NBA. Parker actually spent a few years overseas before returning to the NBA which might be a path Rautins will also have to take.
