2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Corey Fisher


Position: Point Guard

Size: 6-1, 200

School: Villanova, Junior


Strengths:

Tremendous quickness

Creates his own shot with ease

Extrememly effective penetrator

Not afraid to take contact when driving to the hoop

Gets to the free throw at a high rate for a point guard

Improved three-point shooter

Does a nice job of finding open teammates off his drive ability

Doesn't shy away from the big moment

Quick hands on the defensive end

Can be a pesky man-to-man defender



Weaknesses:

Tends to play out of control at times, trying to do too much

Frequently over-dribbles

Will need to be more of a distrubtor at the next level

Undersized as he is generously listed at 6-0

Summary: Fisher has been in the shadows of Scottie Reynolds since coming to Villanova, but will get the opportunity to be the team's go-to player this season. How well he handles that role will likely determine whether or not he is a late first round pick or falls into the second. This is a fairly loaded class of senior point guards who are in a similar situation as Fisher meaning the Villanova senior must have a breakthrough year to truly be considered a first-round talent.

Player Comparison: Sebastian Telfair. Telfair is at his best when he is using his quickness to drive to the basket and finish, or dish off to a teammate. Fisher is in the same mold, but maybe a slightly better perimeter shooter. A lack of ideal size for an NBA point guard has been a factor for Telfair and may be for Fisher as well.
