2014 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Jordan Bachynski


Position: Center

Size: 7-2, 255

School: Arizona State, Senior


Strengths:
  • Size
  • Shot blocking
  • Rim protector
  • Solid Rebounder
  • Left-handed hook shot
  • Back-to-the-basket scorer
  • Runs the floor well for a seven-footer




  • Weaknesses:
  • Mid-range game
  • Lefty dominant, rarely scores over his right shoulder
  • Athleticism
  • Defending on the perimeter
  • Age (will be 25 by start of NBA season)


  • Summary: Due to his size and ability to protect the rim defensively, Bachynski should get some second-round looks and could potentially be a serviceable backup or third center on an NBA roster. He doesn’t have much versatility to his game, which is a concern for his potential transition to the next level.

    Player Comparison: Jeff Withey. A defensive-minded, shot-blocking defensive presence, Withey was a second-round pick last year and was able to carve out a role as a reserve big man during his rookie year. Like the former Jayhawk, Bachynski has the size to hold down the paint defensively but lacks any offensive versatility or tremendous athletic ability.
