Scouting Report: Scott Donley

PCTI2 Totals:
PPG-6.6
RPG-5.0
APG-0.8

Pro's:

Superior athlete on PCTI terms. Has bulked up since college and added frame that has resulted in a nasty, physical on court demeanor. With the trademark up and under, possesses the superior basketball move in PCTI. Has good range for a big man. Will hit the boards and battle hard. High motor. Quiet coach on the court.

Con's:

Black hole in the post. Despite good size, not much of a shot blocker. Shot tends to be streaky. Regardless of temperature, will fire away with no concern. Questions remain about his passion, leaving his team to fend for themselves in the two most important games of PCTI2, just to bypass an hour of traffic. You have to wonder if he deserves to be coined physical, or just a downright cheap shot artist.

Overall:

Donley burst onto the scene quickly, hitting a few big shots in key moments in game 1 and ending with a 10 point, 6 rebound stat line that gave his team a significant boost they were not expecting so quickly. After hovering around the court contemplating competing in Game 6, he finally made reference to the fact that he was only supposed to be a one year rental as to why he was walking out on his tired, ailing teammates. In an offseason that resulted in a lifelong contract, questions will linger if they are getting Scott Donley at 100% mentally and physically for all seven games, or if he is just going to play when it's convenient for him. You also have to wonder if his popularity from the PCTI faithful this offseason has any merit, or if his teammates are sucking up to him in hopes he will hang around for the whole weekend.
