Wood Lin's Scouting Report (Part 1)

Adam Claxton, a well-known senior ESPN scout, is known for his ruthless vision and good at finding faults. Here is his detailed evaluation of Wood Lin (Linson), a hot prospect in the 2006 draft.

===Attack===

==Transmission==

Outstanding physical fitness, strong control ability, a big heart, the courage to attack inside, broad vision, and decisive outside shots make him seem to have 100% star potential.

Of course, even if he leaves basketball now, with his fame, I think he may become the next Chinese star of tomorrow. At least I am willing to pay to watch his movies.

Everyone knows that I have a sharp tongue, so I will not let this young guy go.

As Michael Jordan said, his mid-range shooting was as bad as a woman's menstrual period, and that's exactly what happened.

In the NCAA, he only takes 4 mid-range shots per game, and his number of shots to the basket is nearly 8 per game. From this, it can be seen that he is afraid of mid-range shots.

Data proves that between the reasonable collision area and the three-point line, he only made 36 shots in the entire regular season, and 22 of his shots came from one step inside the three-point line.

This is such an embarrassing statistic, so when choosing his uniform, you must be prepared to accept the embarrassing situation of this little guy being forced to use jump shots by veterans.

Maybe you can expect him to be like Cleveland LBJ, but he doesn't have that kind of physical fitness. Look at his small body of 88 kilograms. Although he has excellent strength, it is not enough to change the fact that his body is weak.

I have to lament that he is too thin. Of course, his thinness makes him more agile.

In addition, I have to mention his speed and ball control. Even in the NBA, he will be one of the fastest players.

And his ball handling is completely ready for the NBA, which is his advantage.

However, I will not praise a player casually. In my dictionary, the advantages are used to set off the shortcomings.

So I will continue to criticize the bad parts of him.

His ball control makes him look ready, but his organizational ability cannot be recognized because of the excellent data. It makes me feel uncomfortable to say laudatory words. He has outstanding vision and overall view, never sticks to the ball but

His passing always scares the coaches on the bench.

Perhaps because of the screams of the girls on the sidelines, he always chooses the way to pass the ball as beautifully and difficultly as possible, and he never fails to do so.

I was confused about this until I asked him why.

He answered me with this: "OH, since they are all passes, then why don't I choose the more popular one."

"Are you just screaming for those on the sidelines?" I asked back.

But I was speechless because he said, "Don't you like that? There are bad times but mostly it's good, isn't it?"

In fact, if he encounters a paranoid coach, his passing method is destined to be criticized, and he is likely to survive the confrontation with the coach, so if he wants to succeed, a coach who appreciates him is essential.

It is precisely because he often makes flash passes that sometimes make his teammates unable to follow his ideas, so the number of his turnovers is increasing.

When the game changes from the NCAA to the NBA, he may rank among the top in turnovers in his first season.

He is good at singles and is not blind. He will never be afraid to stand up when the team needs it. He has a big heart. Although his shooting rate at critical moments is not particularly ideal, he dares to take on the responsibility.

Too much hitting the basket and escaping from mid-range shots will affect his development. Maybe he can be like Tony Parker, but at present, his shooting is still a long way from that of the French sports car.

More difficult shots at the basket will allow him to enjoy various brands of hot pot meals during his rookie season.

On the offensive end, he is better at using pick-and-roll tactics. If he is paired with a good pick-and-roll helper, his lethality will increase by several levels.

Finally, let’s talk about his three-point shooting. This is the only aspect of his shooting that can give him an A, apart from free throws.

But teams that choose him in the future need to be mentally prepared to a certain extent, because he likes unreasonable three-point shots too much, although the shooting rate of such shots will even be higher than reasonable three-point shots.

I think most coaches won't accept him not following the offensive routine for a long time.

So he must have a suitable coach, but this is not easy. He is just a rookie and has no qualifications to ask the team to revolve around him.

Of course, his agent, Mr. David Falk, will definitely try his best to achieve this, but I personally am not optimistic about it.

Perhaps we will hear all kinds of conflicting news about his shooting for a long time.

This will become a worry for the front office, and no team wants to find a time bomb.

If his passing and shooting doesn't work hard to get better, it may become one of the important factors affecting the success of his career, and his draft stock will decline as a result.

[PS1: I didn’t want to write this originally, because it takes more brains to write. There is also a next part, which will be updated at 9:30 tomorrow. The reason for this is that I hope everyone can understand Lin Sen more fully, so I wrote it. Please forgive me if it’s not good.

Forgive me. Finally, I hope you will give me a vote after reading it. Recommended votes and collections are the motivation for Aishen Code Words!]

[PS2: If there are two updates, the update time is normally fixed at 9:30 in the morning and 6:00 in the evening!]
