Strengths:[/u] A very good scorer. Can score inside and can step out and hit the jumper, easily I might add. Range extends a bit past the three-point line. An intelligent player in the post. Will take care of the ball, find the open man, or score it himself. Has good size to cause mis-match problems. Could probably play a little C, but would be best suited at the PF position at the next level.
Weaknesses:[/u] Described as "soft" on the inside. Is a capable scorer, but questions on if he'd be a dominant inside scorer. His rebounding needs a lot of work, it's probably closer to a C than a B-. Never going to be a shot blocker at the next level, maybe one a game at the most.
Scout's Take:[/u] One of the greatest college players of all time comes into the league with a lot of high expectations. Has the skill set to be a dynamic PF the league hasn't quite seen yet, but whether or not the potential is truly there is the big question. Nevertheless, should be a top 5 pick.
Ratings:[/u] Christian Laettner PF 6'11'' 235 22 B- C+ C B C+ A
