He does have a wide range of abilities, but he will need to turn his range of abilities into one or two specific, fine tuned abilities if he wants to contribute in the NBA. The range of abilities will come in handy at points, but whether or not he makes the NBA and actually plays will be determined on how well he can defend NBA players and spot up shoot when wide open.

Originally posted by 3rdAnswerSee, that's where I have to disagree. He's the epitome of what college ball can do to your talent. He now has almost every ability needed to play in the NBA. He can score, handle the ball, and play defense.
If he were on UNC or Duke, he'd be a first round draft pick.

Re: Prospect or Not (1): Eddie Basden
Originally posted by CM1847I agree with your points, but the NBA is made up of a handful of players who can do everything and a LOT of role players. As a 6'5" SG in the NBA, he won't be asked to rebound, one of his greatest skills is going to be all but ignored in the NBA. He also has an amazing ability to drive and score, something he won't be asked to do in the NBA and something that will be a lot tougher against the bigger, more physical NBA post players. If he makes a team and actually plays, he will be asked to play defense and be a spot up shooter on occasion.
