--Basketball--

STATS (COMING SOON)
NBA position: SG
Draft projection for 2010 Draft (if enters): Mid First
Style of play: Jason Richardson
Notes: Every time I watch Xavier play (either live, or clips), I think Jason Richardson. Seems like I am the only one who has made that comparison so far? Xavier is such a great scorer, with a phenomenal 3-point shot (and he's got mad range). He may not have as great a jumping/dunking ability as J-Rich, but they are both strong SG's who nail shots at ease. I think he is a guy who, if the rule did not exist where you need at least one year of college before you can declare for the NBA, would average double-digits in the NBA right now. One thing that he needs to learn, which could take him from being a great player, to being unstoppable is to back down his man, since he is probably 2" and 25 lbs. bigger than many NBA SG's.

--Scouting--

Positives: Great size... Strong... Athletic... Great shooter... Range... Finishes... Drives well... Potential is there... Great work ethic... Very coachable... Runs the floor well... Very tough to guard as he is stronger, taller, and more skilled than most SG's... Great at shooting over defender... Decent rebounder... Physical defensive player.
Negatives: For such a great shooter, Xavier lacks a mid-range game... Not explosive... Not a great ball handler... Little defensive intensity... Needs to learn to back down on defender, since he is bigger, taller, and stronger than most defenders.
