2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Scott Machado
Position: Point Guard
Size: 6-1, 180
School: Iona, Senior
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Summary: One of the best pure point guards in college basketball, Machado has worked himself into the discussion of being a possible late first-round pick. He is one of the nation’s leaders in assists, and his ability to distribute the basketball should certainly earn him a shot in the league. I wouldn’t totally be shocked if some team falls in love with him and he sneaks into the middle of the first round, especially in this weaker point guard draft.
Player Comparison: Ty Lawson.
Machado certainly isn’t as quick Lawson in the open floor or as skilled as a scorer, but the way Machado orchestrated the up-tempo Iona offense reminds me of what Lawson did at North Carolina.
