http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=2049081cap&prov=st&type=lgns Andre Emmett Draft Capsule June 24, 2004 VITALS: 6-4, 216, Texas Tech OVERVIEW: Emmett declared for the NBA draft last season before returning for his senior year at Texas Tech, where he averaged 20.6 points and 6.6 rebounds. Emmett was named to the Big 12 Conference first team each of the last three seasons playing for Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight. Not known as a shooter, Emmett made 35 percent of his 3-pointers in the 2003-04 campaign. Emmett has the tenacity to play small forward in the NBA, but does not have the size. The Dallas native is excellent around the basket, but that makes him a question mark in the NBA because of his lack of size. LIKELY DRAFT POSITION: When Emmett declared for the draft as a junior in 2003, it was questionable whether he would be drafted at all. Now, in Emmett's second go-round in the draft, he is considered a likely second-rounder. That status was solidified at Chicago, where he led all participants with a 17.3 points per game average. COMPARATIVE UPSIDE: Ruben Patterson COMPARATIVE DOWNSIDE: Donnie Boyce ROLE PROJECTION: Reserve POSITIVES: Texas Tech coach Bob Knight once called Emmett the best scorer within 12 feet he has ever coached. That is quite an accomplishment for a player who measured just 6-4 at Chicago and posted one of the lowest standing reaches in the camp. Emmett's combination of strength, toughness and leaping ability has allowed him to succeed up to this point in his career, however. He even was a quality rebounder and shot-blocker at the college level. Obviously, Emmett has a lot of what cannot be measured - heart. SHORTCOMINGS: Heart can only take a player so far. Emmett is still considered too small to match up defensively with forwards in the league. His perimeter game - what he will have to rely on to cut it at shooting guard in the NBA - is seriously lacking. As a result, Emmett is not a traditional fit for the pro game. 6-4的小前鋒，必須轉型成得分後衛，不過持球切入能力似乎不足 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.85.10.20
