2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Devin Ebanks


Position: Small Forward

Size: 6-9, 205

School: West Virginia, Sophomore


Strengths:

Uses his great length to his advantage on both ends of the floor

Good ball-handler which allows him to be a point forward-type player

Great vision as a passer

A slasher who despite his thin frame, isn't afraid to attack the basket

Long arms and leaping ability make him a solid rebounder

Decent back-to-the-basket player who uses his quickness to get around defenders

Excels in transition whether he's pushing the ball or just running the floor

Excellent defender (which is a trademark of a Bob Huggins player) who can guard multiple positions



Weaknesses:

Needs A LOT of work on his three-point shot

Mid-range game improved during his freshman season, but still needs to become more consistent with his jumper

Extremely thin frame; will need to add muscle at the next level

Needs to improve his handles with his left hand

Summary: His combination of height, length and athleticism makes Ebanks a very intriguing prospect. His defensive abilities are already established, but he still needs to improve his all-around offensive game to be a sure-fire lottery pick.

Player Comparison: Andrei Kirilenko. Both players are lengthy, solid athletes who can D' it up. Ebanks is not a threat from the outside and relies more on his slashing ability just like AK47.
