 | Name: Baron Davis Position: Point Guard Number: 1 or 5 DOB: April 13, 1979 Age when drafted: 20, 1999 NBA Draft College: UCLA Hometown: Los Angeles, California Height: 6'3 Weight: 209 lbs |
STRENGTHS:
Very strong and athletic point guard who can score and pass the ball very effectively. Has great ball handling ability and plays best out in the open floor, a very talented offensive player. Effective in pick and rolls and isolation situations, using his quickness and ball handling to make the right decisions. A good shooter from midrange and beyond the 3point line, has an array of floaters, layups to score inside and also uses his strength to score in the post. On the defensive end he is very good at getting into the passing lanes and picking up steals, led the league in steals in both the 2003-04 and 2006-07 seasons with 2.4 and 2.1spg respectively. Also a decent rebounder for a guard, particularly on the defensive end which allows him to start fast breaks. A clutch player, someone you can trust in late game situations.
WEAKNESSES:
Sometimes can rely a bit too heavily on his 3point shot, attempting too many which hurts his percentages. A very good ball handling with great vision but can be flashy at times which leads to turnovers. Is an effective defensive player when focused, but can take plays off and jumps into passing lanes to pick up steals which can leave him exposed if he misses out.
