NBAdraft.net Mickey D's scouting on Cory and Tristan

Tristan Thompson 6-9 235 PF Findlay Prep (NV) Texas – 17 min, 8 pts, 4-7 fg, 5 reb, 3 to

Tristan ThompsonThompson gets hype as a future lottery pick, but still has a ways to go. He's an explosive athlete with great agility, but needs to figure out a position (PF) for the next level. His game is still too herky jerky and he gets caught thinking too much with the ball in his hands instead of having any go-to low post moves. Thompson should drop the obsession with facing the basket and being a 3/4 and bulk up and become a pure power forward and concentrate on developing a legitimate post game. His lack of strength was apparent even when he wasn’t going up against "Sully". Got his pocket picked late in the game by Sullinger as he tried to face him up and cross him over.

Cory Joseph 6-3 180 PG Findlay Prep (NV) Texas – 14 min, 2 pts, 1-6 fg, 2 ast, 2 stl, 2 to.

One of the best shooters in the class. Won the 3 point shooting contest, but wasn't able to have the same success in the game. Hit a nice pull up jumper early but then went ice cold finishing with just 2 points on 1-6 shooting. He would get a chance to redeem himself as his high school team (along with Tristan Thompson) Findlay Prep went on to win the National HS Championship the following weekend. Made a nice play on the break getting the ball to Richmond for an easy dunk. Despite being cold from the perimeter displays excellent form on his shot.

I'm out!!!

I wouldn't take much stock, if any at all, from the comments re: the McDonald's All American game. That's one game and it's a freaking all star game - lot more "I" than "we" in that game... and Cory is a "we" kind of player.

As for Tristan - I think they're bang on about the need to specifiy his game at the PF position. Defining your position is how you make and stick in the NBA... very few tweeners last at the highest level.
