Quote:

Strengths: Good size for a SG in the league at 6’6” 210 lbs; also equipped with very long arms, measuring in with a 6’11” wingspan…Blessed with exceptional athleticism, runs the floor well and gets above the rim with ease; at his best in the open court…For the second year in a row Rush has led the Jayhawks in scoring at 13.8 ppg…Rush also collected 5.6 rpg, good for second on a very good rebounding Kansas team…Plays under control on offense, rarely ever forces the issue when the ball is in his hands, which has served the young Jayhawk team well as a steadying influence, evidenced by his 45% shooting mark…Gets good arc under his shot, shows a nice, fluid release…Excellent long-range shooter, shooting 43% from three his sophomore year, proving that his excellent shooting numbers from his freshmen campaign were no fluke…Excellent man defender, aided by his long arms and developed body…Defended the opposition's best player night in and night out; guarding Kevin Durant as well as anybody in their matchups…An excellent teammate who plays a solid all around game...

I like Eric Gordon for the other pick
Quote:
Strengths: Tremendous leaper with great outside shooting ability ... Really excels at taking the ball inside and drawing contact ... Makes spectacular dunks on a regular basis ... Excellent scorer with good mental toughness ... Shows great body strength at a young age ... Terrific body balance ... Quick feet and an explosive first step ... Has a good feel for the game ... Shoots well off the dribble with a developing mid range game ... Outside shooting stands out ... Shows excellent desire and intensity defensively, good at anticipating steals ... Good competitor ... Athletic ability helps to overcome his size disadvantage for the NBA ... Solid rebounder ...
Weaknesses: A little small for the 2 guard position at 6-4, but his freakish athleticism makes up for it ... Lacks great vision, passing ability ... Can become too enamored with the 3 point shot ... His in between game is under utilized because he's so effective from the outside and taking the ball to the basket ... Needs to concentrate on becoming a better passer ... Lack of length may make creating shots difficult ... Should look to get more height on his jump shot ... Must work on becoming more under control driving to the basket ...
