The Washington Wizards have the #3 pick in the NBA Draft and one of their possible choices is Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Every scout seems worried about MKG’s ability to score from the perimeter, but as this scout tells Ben Standig of CSNWashington.com, Kidd-Gilchrist is a winner.
[QUOTE][LEFT][COLOR=#252525][FONT=Georgia][B]NBA scout[/B] (to CSNwashington): “Kidd-Gilchrist is a three-man. You have [Chris]Singleton there. You got [Trevor] Booker at the four. He, Vesely and Singleton are all kind of small four’s, three’s a little bit. That’s a logjam quite honestly. That team needs shooters. The problem with Vesely and Booker and Singleton is they don’t make shots. Then it becomes redundant with a guy like Kidd-Gilchrist. Similar position, has all the intangibles, but is not a good scorer. If they want to go for a winner, hard worker, than its Kidd-Gilchrist.”[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#252525][FONT=Georgia][B]
Andy Glockner, SI.com [/B](to CSNwashington): ” I really like Kidd-Gilchrist, but I think it has to be in the right situation NBA-wise…He’s going to some trouble scoring from the perimeter on the NBA level. I don’t think his handle off the bounce is outstanding. He’s not slow, but he’s not like a blow-by guy from the three. His jump shot is terrible, his form is screwy. But, he’s a guy who’s going to get all the loose balls, he’s going to rebound, he’s going to work to defend. He’s a very good teammate. Was willing to defer at times at Kentucky for the betterment of the team.”[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT]
