2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Grevis Vasquez


Position: Point Guard

Size: 6-6, 245

School: Maryland, Senior


Strengths:
  • A combo guard with great scoring instincts
  • Can create his own shot
  • Knows how to get open when playing off the ball
  • Tremendous court vision and passer
  • Understands when to be a scorer and when to be a distributor
  • Height can be a mismatch for opposing point guards
  • Quick first step off the dribble
  • Excellent in transition
  • Great free throw shooter (86.7% as a junior)
  • Good rebounder for a guard



    Weaknesses:
  • Must get stronger
  • Athleticism is average at best
  • Shot selection is at times questionable
  • Inconsistent from beyond the arc
  • Doesn’t have a true position at the next level
  • Has yet to fully committ on the defensive side of the ball

    Summary: Vasquez was wise to pull his name out of the 2009 NBA Draft as he almost certainly would have been a second-round pick. In what should be a weak crop of 2010 point guards, Vasquez should get some looks late in the first round depending on whether or not NBA teams feel he can play the point at the next level. If teams don’t see him as a true one, he will likely be a second-round pick.

    Player Comparison: Marco Belinelli. Vasquez has a lot of traits of a typical Euro-type guard. He is a crafty scorer, can handle the basketball, and is a bit of a tweener. Belinelli entered the league with those same traits but has yet to find a home in the NBA. Vasquez likely awaits a similar fate.
