Miami Heat Select James Ennis

HEAT Trade for 50th pick, Jame Ennis

6'7 206

Strengths: High flying athlete with good size/length for the wing position ... Spectacular dunker. Strong, explosive legs and very aggressive attacking the basket ... A terror in the open floor due to his above average run/jump athleticism. Ennis gets out for a lot of breakaway dunks using anticipation and long arms to jump passing lanes ... Shows solid touch and good shooting ability ... Displays a textbook shooting motion and the ability to set his feet quickly and get a shot off in rhythm ... Possesses great size and athleticism to play the 3 position ... Good shot selection, using pump fakes well to get opponents off the floor and set up shots ... Shows the ability to pull up off the dribble as well as spot up and knock down shots in catch and shoot situations ... Skill level has steadily progressed through hard work ... Solid three point shot, knocking down 36% from distance on a high volume of shots (5 per game) ... A quality ball handler, showing comfortability going through his legs, though more effective in catch and shoot than creating shots off of ISOs ... Plays with good energy. Hustles ... Led the 49ers in both scoring (16.5) and rebounding (6.7) ... Despite low a/to numbers, shows good vision and passing skills ... Plays with good energy, slahing to the basket for rebounds ... Comes from a strong family, willing to work hard ... Mature player with 4 years of college under his belt ... Despite being a senior, shows good potential left to develop ... Measured with a 6'11 1/2 wingspan at the Portsmouth Invitation Tournament ...

Weaknesses: A "momentum athlete". Lack of a quick first step to blow by opponents makes him less of a threat in ISO situations ... At times gets sloppy and forces passes, 3.0 turnovers per game were too many although he had the ball in his hands a lot ... Lacks experience at a high level. Played just two years at Long Beach State after transferring from Ventura Junior College. Level of competition is not top shelf playing in the Big West Conference ... Will turn 23 a few days after the draft making him a little old for a senior ... Not a physical player, and can be pushed around in the paint due to a lack of upper body strength ... Should look to tighten up his handles further ... Lateral quickness could improve with better fundamentals ...

He's a Heat player now so obviously he's the steal of the draft and will bring us #4 next summer

i like that he has a consistent jump shot form and it seems like he is a solid 3 ball shooter with range (really though his form on spot ups is very good)

doesnt look really explosive but he has a crazy wingspan and solid frame

well probably send him overseas and never hear from him again

Unless you're a PG, rookies need to be prepared to be destroyed as a player on the Heat ;(.

Based on scouting report he sounds like an athletic James posey

Interesting that wed trade for him. Our roster doesn't have a lot of spots. Riley must see something.

If he can continue to progress that 3 ball, you got a shot. Like his length and athleticism.

I went to go watch Wade on Kimmel, I was giving up hopes we would trade Joel for a 2nd rounder

apparently we got the 2nd rounder but WTF did we trade? lol

From the extensive research I've done on James Ennis (YouTube videos :lol:

) I can tell that he has nice hops, can run north to south pretty fast and has a really nice stroke. But he's slow laterally, which is extremely important, bad ball handler, can't pass worth crap, and not a very good defender. But he has the length and the size to be a good rebounder. He might be our version of Chris Copeland but a little more athletic and less of a shooter.

I am not expecting much from this guy, I mean come on the last few years the only draft pick we've actually used was Cole, and he was a late 1st rounder.

WHAT DID WE TRADE AHHHH... it has to be Joel...
