Scouting Report: Ben Wilson

PCTI2 Totals:
PPG-12.7
RPG-8.3
APG-2.6

Pro's:

Dynamic offensive player. Explosive scorer that can hurt the defense from anywhere on the court. Sneaky quickness complimented with a strong spin move make it tough to stop him from getting to the hoop. Good touch around the basket and can finish with either hand. Great handle and vision. Size, guard skills and rarely used post up game make him a matchup nightmare. Positive energy guy. Plus rebounder despite not putting a premium on it.

Con's:

Defensive stance and effort are laughable. Gives too much space one on one and tends to zone out. Big time streak shooter that has put up some of the best and worst games in PCTI history. Has the tendency to try and take over despite being on a cold streak. Conditioning comes into question and has proven he wants to get by off skill and talent, rather than dedicating himself to a rigorous offseason regiman. Lack of access to quality hoops game will work against him. Despite ability to hit from anywhere on the court, percentages show the 40ft. jumpers need to go.

Overall:

A two-time All PCTI winner, Wilson has cemented himself as an elite scorer, rebouner, and overall performer despite his career record of 0-2. Fresh off a performance that landed him the #1 pick slot, questions will linger if the Wilson/Sabin combination is ready for a breakthrough, or if it's just not meant to be. Will he dedicate himself to a lighter version of Sabin's offseason workout plan? Most will guess no. If no is accurate, will we see any improvements in Wilson? If so, expect Wilson to lose the "Defeated" label and compete with Sabin in the MVP race. If not, expect a few great games, a few bad games, and a few games he is too tired to care.
