Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 2980189, member: 6809"] You may have already read these but I thought it was interesting enough to re – post these NBA scout opinions about Tyus and Oshae. Unlike some opinions it sounds like OB will be back, (see copy), Battle is a question mark IMO. [B]Battle:[/B] “You wish he was as aggressive as he was in the Duke game — every game,” said an Eastern Conference scout. “His jumper isn’t there. Defensively, because of the zone, you don’t know too much. In the combine last year, he wasn’t aggressive. He’s not assertive. He won’t assert himself and that’s concerning. If he does go undrafted, he could have a fresh start. But he’s just not wired to be aggressive, because he’s very laid back, almost to a detriment.” [B]Brissett:[/B] A scout told The Daily Orange in November at Madison Square Garden that Brissett’s projected draft stock had dipped from 33rd to 80th, a likely drafted prospect. Several scouts said they hadn’t seen improvement from his first year to his second, and his ability to finish around the rim was concerning. “He’s having a questionable year,” an Eastern Conference scout said. “He doesn’t move well enough. Can he shoot and defend? You don’t trust his shot or consistency shooting.”“He can’t handle the ball. He looks the part, but he’s very limited in what he can do,” the scout added. “I don’t know what the substance is there with him.” Given he isn’t a projected NBA pick, it’s increasingly likely Brissett returns for at least one more season at SU. As one of two returning starters (forward Elijah Hughes), he’d have plenty of opportunities to grow and show scouts the potential he flashed as a freshman in the NCAA Tournament. “Next year I want to be the guy who can rebound, score and pass,” Brissett said following SU’s season-ending loss to Baylor in the NCAA Tournament. “I want to be a triple-double guy.” GOSU :) [/QUOTE]
