Scouts, Inc. Evaluation
June, 2009: After a dismal 1st day in terms of effort and execution (U16 Team USA Trials), Wroten Jr. put on a passing exhibition that was, quite frankly, peerless. He is a true point guard with a powerful body and deceptive quickness and burst. He keeps his head on a swivel in transition and always sees the open man. Although he favors going left (he is left-handed) there was nobody at the trials that could keep him out of the lane because of his strength and quickness. Once he got in the lane he dished out some of the niftiest passes I’ve seen in awhile-quite possibly since LeBron was a school boy. Unfortunately, he plays the game in spurts and as a result he isn’t nearly as consistent as he should be. In addition, his jump shot (more like a set shot) has a long ways to go. His release is slow and mechanical and the trajectory on his shot is quite flat. Overall, Wroten has a chance to be a player not only in college, but beyond that as well. However, I’m curious on how much he wants it. He was very lackadaisical during drills and didn’t take the setting serious until the scrimmages began. Full Evaluation Here
