2013 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Tony Snell


Position: Small Forward

Size: 6-7, 198

School: New Mexico, Junior


Strengths:

Athleticism

Length

Potential to be a lockdown defender

Can guard multiple positions

Capable 3-point shooter

Catch-and-shoot ability

Pull-up jumper

Free throw shooting

Weaknesses:

Defensive effort/awareness

Aggressiveness on the glass

Too often disappears on offense if shot isn’t falling

Strength

Tighten up ball handling

Summary: Snell’s decision to leave New Mexico after his junior season was somewhat surprising since he is not a first-round lock. Snell does possess many of the physical attributes to be a solid NBA small forward and because of that, will get plenty of second-round looks. There is a slim chance he could sneak into the first round.

Player Comparison: Landry Fields. Fields is a decent role player with ideal size and length to be a NBA small forward. Snell fits that mold as well and won’t be a starter at the next level like Fields, but can be an impact player off the bench.
