Name: Jeff Hornacek

Pros: Jeff is a great pickup or a team on the verge and needs an outside shot, or a good scorer off of the bench. He comes into the league with a polished long ball, and he will continue to be a wonderful FT shooter. A great first step and burst of speed is usually enough to free him up for a mostly open jump shot makes him a tough guard for some of the aging SGs who will struggle to keep up with him on the court. He is a capable passer and does not feel too pressured when he has the ball in his hands. Hornacek has the potential to be an average defender in the league.
Cons: Some will look at his age as a big flag for any rebuilding team to draft him. By the time his rookie deal is up he will be 27 and will be very hard to gauge what his worth will be if he pans out. Other then that, I don't see many flaws outside of not being a great high flyer that'll dunk the ball on any kind of consistent basis.
Overall: In the right situation I think Hornacek carves out a nice career. He will be most efficient on a team that is either contending, or a piece or two away where he can help without being relied on to be the man. Would have been nice to see his career had he come out a season or two sooner but some guys like college life.
Projection: 15-22
