| Ebanks, Devin | West Virginia | 6'8" | 208 | SF, SG, PF | Soph. | Some players simply have a nose for the ball - and this kid fits that description. That said - Ebanks is a player I've soured on a little bit. As a freshman in 2008, when he was lighter on his feet, he seemed to be able to make more plays. As he has added weight and become more of known commodity - his offense just has not been the same. ...He is going to make his money playing defense. He can really defend the perimeter. …Versatile. Can guard four positions. He locked up Scottie Reynolds, a small guard (Feb 8, 2010). ...He has solid ability to rebound the ball as a wing player. He can run the floor. We've seen him pull up for the mid-range jumper with defenders in his face and hit the shot. He reads plays and slashes at opportune times. ...Had more assists than turnovers in both his seasons at WV. ...Long. Right-handed. ...Good hands. ...Finds the gaps in a defense and puts himself in a position to score. ...Can slash. ...Nimble, and athletic. ...Has the ability to finish. Smooth. ...He has a short torso and long legs. . Ebanks really needs to improve his deep shooting to excel as a SF at the next level. ...He can remind you of Trevor Ariza. …Was an Indiana recruit that bounced to W. VA. When the Kelvin Sampson thing went down. |
Where do I expect Ebanks to be taken? Somewhere around 26th.
Our best advice: In 2003 - the 26th pick was Ndudi Ebi. We said - "take Josh Howard".
Our worst advice: In 2004 - the 26th pick was Kevin Martin. We said - "take P.J. Ramos".
