2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Kim English


Position: Shooting Guard

Size: 6-6, 200

School: Missouri, Senior


Strengths:

Three-point shooting

Catch and shooter

Moves well off screens

Pull-up jumper

Mid-range game

Can attack off the bounce

Active defender

Unselfish

Doesn't force shots

Basketball IQ

Can play multiple positions



Weaknesses:

Lacks ideal NBA athleticism

Needs to get stronger

Attacking the basket

Creating his own shot

Summary: Despite playing out of position most of his senior year (he started at the four for Mizzou), English had a bit of a breakthrough season. His ability to play numerous positions and knock down open shots, and his high level of activity on the defensive end could land him a spot as a role player in the NBA. He doesn't have outstanding athletic ability though, which makes him a second-round prospect.

Player Comparison: Daniel Green. Much like Green at North Carolina, English was a solid role player at Missouri who accepted whatever role was thrown at him. Green has used that versatility and his ability to shoot the ball from deep to become an important role player for the Spurs. English has the potential to follow a similar career path in the NBA.
