    Do you think he will make an Impact?
    NBA Comparison: Darius Miles

    Strengths: The epitome of a physical specimen. Athleticism is what sets Outlaw apart from other players. A phenomenal leaper. He’s rumored to be able to touch the top of the backboard. Runs the floor faster than most guards. Exceptional quickness and a large wingspan enable him to be a defensive stopper. An excellent shot-blocker who elevates off the floor quickly. His stroke is coming on and could potentially make him a leathal player down the road

    Weaknesses: His understanding of the game is not there yet. Shot is still inconsistent but it has improved dramatically since his sophopmore year. Must play to his strengths and not always settle for the outside shot. At 6-9 and 195 lbs. weight and strength is obviously an issue. Must make better decisions with the ball. Can get caught using his athleticism solely to beat guys, and this will not suffice in the NBA.

    I'd take a chance on him. He's projected as an early second rounder. I hope the raps trade into the twenties and grab him. I think they said this might be the last year that they let highschoolers come out.

    One thought

    Does D. Miles really have any sort of impact?

    I am guessing that is from NBA Draft.net. I would take my chances on him in the second round. If you get a Darius Miles in the 2nd round, that is a big bonus.

    While Outlaw is a tremendous athelete, he does not have the talent Darius Miles does. Remember, Miles went 3rd overall and Outlaw is a mid-second rounder who could go undrafted depending on how many players pull their names out of the draft.


    Like Miles, Travis Outlaw is a tremendous athelete but Miles was already a great finisher coming out of high school while Outlaw has no offensive game to speak of. There's a reason Miles went 3rd and Outlaw will be happy to go 33rd after all.

    Yes, and even if you don't like DMiles, getting a player like that, in the mid 2nd round is a STEAL.

    Dajuan Wagner could be there best scorer actually. I don't know who they could get for him, they would need a SF probably.

    They have DMiles, Jumaine Jones and LeBron to play SF when needed.

    True. LeBron probably will be more of a guard, and Darius could be gone.
