Kevin Pittsnogle NBA Position: PF/CCollege: West Virginia Class: SeniorHt: 6-10Wt: 255NBA Comparison: Sam PerkinsStrengths: Pittsnogle is a tremendous shooting bigman. He has proven time and again that he can not only knock down shots from outside with consistency, but also big shots in big game stuations ... Adept at hitting shots with a player in his face ... On the next level, he will spread the floor forcing a big man to guard him on the perimeter ... Hard worker, worked hard on improving his athleticism and quickness in the past year and it is showing with his adding mobility, which is allowing him to score and rebound better ... His conditioning has also allowed him to play significantly more minutes than he did in previous seasons ... Has good competitiveness and toughness ... Excellent free throw shooter at 85% ... Great maturity, four year player at West Virginia ... His passing skills and ball protection have improved in his senior year ... Has added a nice turn around jump hook to his offensive game ... Weaknesses: Not a great interior presence on either end of the floor ... Lacks great quickness and agility ... Slow foot speed makes him just an average defender ... Needs to work on improving his post game, he prefers to drift out to the perimeter to look for 3 point shots ... Cant really be anything more than a catch and shoot player from the outside. His lack of foot speed limits his ability to get by defenders off the dribble ... Not a defensive presence, lacks great explosiveness to block shots ... -Aran Smith 2/26/06 http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/kevinpittsnogle.aspWhere do you think he'll fall in the draft?? i think he's a late first rounder/ early secound
I think he is late first, early second. he doesn't have much of an inside game. Justa great shooter for a big man.
Who would you pick first Pittsnogle or Josh Boone??i think i'd take Pittsnogle. i think niether will be stars, but both could be servicable big men off the bench.
definitely boone because of his D. i think pittsnogle plays like araujo on toronto. a guy that can just shoot and sucks overall as well.

Watch both players before you make a comparison.

Why do you bring J.J. into this? He's a very good shooter who doesn't do anything else. He's probably a second rounder.
What the hell are you talking about? I just don't know why he had to bring J.J. up when this had nothing to do with him.
KnicksFan brought J.J. up in a thread that has nothing to do with him, I just didn't understand why he would randomly bring up a 6'4" SG in discussion with a 6'11" PF. Get back on topic.
