2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Scottie Reynolds


Position: Point Guard

Size: 6-2, 195

School: Villanova, Senior


Strengths:

Great range with his outside shot

Fluid form and release as a catch and shooter

Good pull-up jumper

Effectively uses his floater to get shots off over bigger defenders

Creative scorer when he gets into the paint

Quick first step in taking defenders off the dribble

Moves well off the ball

Very effective in transition using his quickness and craftiness as a scorer



Weaknesses:

A shooting guard trapped in a point guard’s body

Very streaky shooter

Not a true floor general when running the point

Lacks outstanding athleticism

Good, but not great defender

Summary: There is no questionning Reynolds ability as a scorer. But because he is undersized to play the two in the NBA, he will need to prove he can run the point to have a chance at the next level, which he has not truly done yet at Villanova. Still, with his ability to hit shots from the outside, he should get plenty of looks in the second round.

Player Comparison: Eddie House. House has made a living in the NBA because of his deadly three-point shooting ability. At 6-1, House is very undersized as an NBA shooting guard and lacks the true skills of a point guard. Reynolds faces those same challenges.
