Michael Jordan Scouting Report by Nba Post Up Squad
Nba Post Up

Incredible combination of athleticsm, skill and competiveness. Michael Jordan seems like an old man to some now. Many NBA fans never saw him in his prime. Many are willing to say Kobe has passed him or his nearing his throne. For now Jordan stands safely on top.
Vince Carter Scouting Report by Nba Post Up Squad
Nba Post Up

Vince Carter is still an all star caliber player with no standout weaknesses. It will be interesting to see how things work out with the Magic. He'll be asked to fill Hedo Turkoglu's shoes as a shot creator but his underrated shooting should lead to some easy points in Orlando's offense. He has a chance to solidify himself as a hall of fame candidate by just being an important part on a potential championship team.
Lamar Odom Scouting Report by Nba Post Up Squad
Nba Post Up

Odom is an extremely skilled and talented NBA player. Blessed with good but not elite physical tools but makes up for it with a versatile skill set. Now in his prime, if he could be more consistent he'd be more highly ragarded. As it stands now earned a ring as a very valuable player on a championship team.
John Stockton Scouting Report by Nba Post Up Squad
Nba Post Up

Perhaps the best pure point guard in NBA history. Stockton was a terrific all around player. An incredibly efficient shooter. Did the little things too like setting mean screens on bigs. Pick pocket defensively. An incredibly accurate passer who not just found the open man but found the right spot for and on the open man.
Ray Allen Scouting Report by Guest

Allen is on the downside of his career but is still one of the league's preeminent shooters and a strong offensive threat. Commitment to fitness and style of play makes him less of an aging risk than other older guards. Perfect fit in Boston alongside KG and Pierce.
LeBron James Scouting Report by Guest

The best player in basketball. An all-around terror. Can do things on a basketball court that no one else can. Will contend for GOAT honors when it's all said and done.
Kevin Love Scouting Report by Guest

One of the best young power forwards in the game. love is still improving. He proved he could really play when they finally gave him more minutes this year. Hopefully, he stays healthy.
Andrea Bargnani Scouting Report by Guest

A 3 born in a 5's body. Good offensive polish with a deft shooting touch and a quick first step to the bucket. Has the tools to be a perrenial All-Star. Needs to work on defense/rebounding, and show greater fight, commitment, and passion in his own end.

Paul Pierce Scouting Report Scouting Report by Guest

Pierce has grown up quite a bit over the years, turning into a smart, mature, team-first player. He contributes and is effective in every phase of the game, and though his age is catching up to him, he remains a solid all around player that any team would love to have.
Kobe Bryant Scouting Report Scouting Report by sweetne4@hotmail.com

One of the greatest to ever play, and definitely in the same conversation with Michael Jordan. There has never been anyone with a greater thirst and passion for winning. Should go down as a top 5 player all-time.

Scoring/Shooting: 

One of the best in finishing around the basket in the league, really crafty in his footwork and has the handling to freeze defenders and the quickness to blow past them. Shooting is his biggest weakness, he has a plain awful jumpshot, shoots 25% from 3pt-land this season and doesn't seem to get better.

Rebounding: 

A really good rebounding guard, averages 5 rebounds per game in his career.

Passing/Ballhandling: 

Ballhandling is excellent, like I mentioned earlier he can freeze defenders with his dribbling and has the quickness and craftiness to finish around the rim. Passing is decent for a guard, sometimes tries to finish in a 2 vs 1 situation when the pass is a better option.

Defense: 

Very good on-ball defender, average team defender. Has the quickness to guard 1s and 2s, and the strength to cover both guard positions and some 3s aswell. Has the potential to be really good defensively.

Scoring/Shooting: 

Good shooter spots and off the dribble. Can post up smaller defender. Can create his own shot and can also play without the ball. Very aggressive, more a driver than a jump shooter. Nice footwork.

Rebounding: 

very tough rebounder on both side of the floor.

Passing/Ballhandling: 

Good passer. Can create for others

Defense: 

Tough defender. Can guard the 2,3, or 4 position.

Intangibles:

Overall:

Scoring/Shooting: 

Can score and score in bunches. Probably the most difficult in the league to stop once he gets it going. Not as big a threat attacking the rim as when he was younger, but very clever and still commands a double team.

Rebounding: 

Better than functional rebounder at the guard position. Won't dominate the glass but will get the rebounds he is supposed to get.

Passing/Ballhandling: 

Can be a good passer at times, but gets airborne too much when making passes.

Ballhandling wise possesses a good handle but nothing fancy.

Defense: 

Very lax on defense at times, but gves maximum effort when a stop is needed. Has always been an overrated 1 on 1 defender but you're probably not going to make a living going at him, even at this stage of his career.

Intangibles: 

Fierce competitor that will do whatever it takes to win. A very intimidating presence for opponents to deal with because of his cold-blooded assassin mentality.

Synopsis: 

One of the greatest to ever play, and definitely in the same conversation with Michael Jordan. There has never been anyone with a greater thirst and passion for winning. Should go down as a top 5 player all-time.

Scoring/Shooting: 

Consistently among the most effective scorers in the league, Pierce is probably best known for his slashing abilities and seemingly automatic midrange game. A fallaway jumper from the elbow is the staple of his offense, while in recent years he has developed a 40% 3 point shot.

Rebounding: 

Statistically an average rebounder, but at 6'7", 235 lbs, he certainly has the size and strength to be a force on the boards.

Passing/Ballhandling: 

Very underrated aspect of Pierce's game, he is the primary ballhandler late in games, and shows great flashes of creativity when he assumes a "point forward" role.

Defense: 

Greatly improved since the arrival of Kevin Garnett in Boston. He is probably better known as a good team defender as opposed to a lockdown 1-on-1 guy, mostly due to matchups against some of the best scorers to ever play in Kobe and LeBron.

Intangibles: 

Pierce has been a big time player for a long time, he has an incredible knowledge of the game and plays it the right way. He is unselfish, does what needs to be done, and has the killer instinct to put teams away at the end of ball games.

Synopsis: 

Pierce has grown up quite a bit over the years, turning into a smart, mature, team-first player. He contributes and is effective in every phase of the game, and though his age is catching up to him, he remains a solid all around player that any team would love to have.

Intangibles:

Overall:

Scoring/Shooting: 

Adept jump shooter with unlimited range. Prefers 15'-18' though can be expected to shoot .375+ from outside. Can beat any center in the league off the dribble, as well as most 4's, when motivated. Developing repertoire of post moves, but still overmatched by elite defenders.

Rebounding: 

Good length, but poor rebounder for his size due to lack of desire. Because of jump shooting tendency, rarely on offensive boards. Does not consistently display the will to fight in the trenches.

Passing/Ballhandling: 

Competent in passing out of double teams. Because he is the primary option on his team, rarely creates for mates on the floor. Good ball handler for a big man, and shows flashes of considerable creativity off the dribble.

Intangibles: 

Is a willing shooter in the clutch, and is not afraid to take the 'big shot'. Needs to utilize his ability to beat defenders on the floor more frequently instead of relying on the 18 footer. Not a strong help defender, and can occasionally look lost on D. Needs to work on strength and desire to increase defensive contributions.

Synopsis: 

A 3 born in a 5's body. Good offensive polish with a deft shooting touch and a quick first step to the bucket. Has the tools to be a perrenial All-Star. Needs to work on defense/rebounding, and show greater fight, commitment, and passion in his own end.
