Strengths • Great size for point guard • Can create shots • Gets into the lane • Good free throw shooter Weaknesses • Gets caught in the air when passing too often • Jump shot is inconsistent • Tries to force passes into the post Defense Strengths • Long arms, moves feet well • Closes well on shooters • Good rebounder Weaknesses • Has trouble guarding smaller guards • Needs to work on getting over screens Analysis Vasquez is an intriguing point guard prospect because of his size. At 6’6, he would have a great height advantage over many point guards, though he is not a good enough athlete to stay with the smaller guards. On offense, he does a good job running a team, though he tries to force many plays that aren’t there. Also, he has a horrible habit of jumping before he makes some passes, and often can get caught in the air if the passing lane closes. He is a streak shooter, and he needs to improve on squaring to the basket before shooting. On defense, his size and long arms give him a nice advantage, though he often plays back on his heels to prevent other guards from going by him. If Vasquez can work on some of the fundamentals, he has the potential to be a decent NBA point guard. - Ed Isaacson |
