Pros: Jeff Ruland comes into the league raw but scouts are very intrigued about his potential for a Center. Firstly he has great strength, which helps him get good position both on the defensive and offensive ends of the floor. He won't be much of a scorer right away as he needs to be developed but he has a good mid range jumpshot, which shows signs of improving further, and the same can be said about his inside game. Scouts also like his ability as a passer, which is very good for someone of his size.
Cons: Ruland needs quite a bit of development if he is going to reach his potential and teams will have to be patient with him if they draft him as he comes into the league very raw. His quickness is another thing that has scouts worried; it stops him from being effective at the power forward position and could see him have problems with other quicker Center’s in the league.
Overall: He has the potential to have a unique skill set for a Center, with passing and a mid range game that not many other players his size can say they possess, but much will be decided on how he develops as all aspects of his game are raw currently. Once other Center’s are off the board he could be a good pick for someone later in the draft as his game is similar to highly rated prospect Arvydas Sabonis.
Projection: #15-20
