Richard Hamilton
6'7
193 lbs
Shooting Guard
C+ B C B- D+ A
Pros: Very cerebral player, with a high basketball IQ. Comes into the league with a reliable midrange jumpshot, with an advanced knowledge of how to get his shot by running defenders off screens and utilizing superior foot work. Passable on ball defender, understands the concept of team defense and rotations very well. Long range shot is decent, but could use a little work if he ever wants to be more of a threat on the court.
Cons: Very poor rebounder for someone of his height. Lacks strength, he will get bullied around by stronger guards. Ball handling is not that great, he will not be able to create his own shot that well, leaving him just shy of being an elite scorer in the pros.
Overall: He's a smart player, will be a good scorer for any team whether he starts or comes off the bench. In his prime, the absolute best case scenario for him would be a 3rd option on a championship team. Scouts love his work ethic and willingness to learn, he should be a high lotto pick for sure.
Projected Prime Ratings: B- A- C B+ C- C
