2011 NBA Draft Scouting Report: William Buford
Position: Shooting Guard
Size: 6-5, 205
School: Ohio State, Junior
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: Buford has been forced to play out of position a bit this season as he starts at point guard for the Buckeyes. He is at his best when he can play his more natural off-guard position when Aaron Craft comes off the bench to run the show. He has a world of talent but has deterred to Jared Sullinger this season which hurts his draft value. Still, he would likely be a first round if he chose to forgo his final year of eligibility.
Player Comparison: Anthony Morrow. Morrow just has a great all-around feel for scoring the basketball and Buford possesses that talent as well. Both guys are athletic enough to get to the basket but rely more on their outside jumper as their best weapon.
