I didnt know that about nash. I just know about his great talent. now i want poythress or mcadoo. in todays NBA you either need a stud SF or a defensive mastermind there. Thats where most of the good teams are. LBJ KD Granger Metta, nuggets with iggy now
here are some scouting reports and a game of him. He is a defensive player with great body at 6'7-230
NBADRAFT:
NBA Comparison: Ron Artest
Strengths: Possesses a pro body, NBA athleticism, a real ability to score the basketball ... Nash, quite frankly, looks like a man amongst boys when competing against high school kids ... Has a wide variety of offensive arsenal including an explosive 1st step, keen ability to attack the basket at will, and shooting range that extends out to NBA 3 point range ... Nash knows how to let the game come to him, really using his physical gifts to dominate his competition, especially in the post ... Has the ability to create for others off the bounce ... Finishes around the rim with finesse when needed, but prefers strong powerful dunks ...
Weaknesses: The comparisons to Artest run deeper than the physical resemblance and style of play, Nash has developed a reputation for being a little bit of a headcase ... College should be a great experience for him and staying more than a year would likely benefit his long term potential ... Displays poor body language at times when team is ineffective. Maturity/Attitude has been questioned and could be an issue that needs to be addressed in order to maximize potential ... Tends to take plays off at times especially when the game isn't going his way ... Seems as if high school basketball doesn't interest him as much other players as Nash is already 19 and looking forward to college and beyond ... Doesn't utilize his strength advantage enough and some have questioned his toughness and willingness to seek physical contact ...
Overall: Nash is a phenomenal talent and has a pro body. His skill set should translate well in Travis Ford's offense ... While his game could stand to grow from a year or 2 of maturity, I don't think his stay in college will be a very long given
his work ethic and toughness ... NBA scouts already love his frame and toughness and with some polishing he could easily be an effective player in the NBA before long ...

NBA draft room:
Explosive jumper who is very powerful when taking the ball to the rim. Very strong player who has the potential to be a really good defender and rebounder once he puts his mind to it. Doesn't have a picture perfect jump shot but gets good elevation and hits at a high rate.
