2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jerome Dyson

Position: Guard

Size: 6-3, 180

School: UConn, Senior

Strengths:

Thrives as a penetrator

Outstanding in the open court

Great finisher in transition or off the bounce

Body control when attacking the basket

Not afraid to drive into the land of bigs and take contact

Terrific passer

Good rebounder for his size

Does a nice job of jumping passing lanes

Weaknesses:

A tweener guard who is more of a two in a point guard’s body

Must become a more consistent outsider shooter

Turns the ball over too often

Size makes him a defensive liability against bigger two guards

Summary: Dyson is a dynamic all-around player whose numbers hover around 20 points, five boards and five assists per game. He is undersized to be a true two in the NBA, but I think he has the ability to play some point at the next level. Dyson will be a second-round pick, but could be a steal especially if he learns to play point guard.

Player Comparison: Willie Green. Green has survived for almost a decade in the NBA despite being an undersized two guard which is the biggest knock on Dyson. Both players can fill it up off the bounce and play the point if needed. Dyson likely will never be a starter in the league, but could develop into a valuable bench player like Green has become.
