Nico Van den Bogaerd – 4/25/2008
Strengths: Guadeloupe born point guard who has enjoyed some quality minutes during his teams 3 victorious games at la Semaine des As, as the French Cups final eight phase is called. Quite small with just over 6 feet and still very skinny, he compensates with very solid athleticism, quickness and foot speed … Also has excellent general speed, long arms, a big and fast first step, added to okay passing and ball handling skills … As a shooter hes already quite reliable, even from long range with a nice high release … His huge wingspan allows him to play much bigger than his 6-1 size, and should help him develop into a
strong defensive player in the future …

Weaknesses: Doesnt show much ability and initiative to create his own outside shots off the dribble, despite playing several minutes at the 2 position … Defensively hes quite average due to a combination of factors. Even with his quick feet, he struggles to get through screens. His lack of body strength doesnt do him any favors either if the opponent drives on him. And what might be the most worrying part, is his below average awareness at both ends of the court … Average weak side positioning in defense, too often gambling for steals at midcourt. On offense he got called 2 offensive fouls leading the fast break, making really bad decisions … Hopefully and most probably this aspect will improve considerably as he continues gaining experience, but an important trouble spot to focus on nonetheless.

Outlook: All together hes still quite far away of being able to contribute regularly on any NBA or strong European team. 2 years left to make significant progress in order to convince NBA teams that hes worthy of a draft pick.
