| Fields, Landry | Stanford | 6'7" | 210 | SF, SG | SR. | Fields intrigues me because he understands the game very well and he improved dramatically despite the fact that his college experience from a coaching standpoint was a rollar-coaster. He improved each season despite playing for different coaches in Trent Johnson (who he never gained the favor of) and then Johnny Dawkins. Under Dawkins guidance in 2009-10 - Fields - a Long Beach native - scored 22 points per game while grabbing 8.8 rebounds per contest as well. …He does not have great foot speed. I see him strictly as a SF due to the struggle he would have to guard NBA TWO's. ...Right handed. ...Helps as rebounder despite being a perimeter player. …He can score - even under duress. He has a back-to-basket game with a reliable jump hook. …Unselfish; he had more assists than turnovers which is not often seen by college Small Forwards. Consider too - that he played without an athletic BIG at Stanford. ...He set screens. …A point-forward that consistently looks to advance the ball ahead. He gets it! …Has great handles and at times can remind you of a taller version of Andre Miller. ...Smart, smart player that makes plays. ...His shooting percentages could be better. His Stanford career numbers are: 46% FG, 68% FT, 34% 3 Pt. ...Fields is completely under control and is among the safest picks in the draft from a character standpoint. He will be a public relations dream. He graduated in June 2010 with a Communications Studies degree. ...Fields entered Stanford at age 17. ...Said to be a "neat freak". |
Where do I expect Fields to be taken? He will most likely not be drafted.
Our best advice: In 2008 - Omer Asik was the 36th pick. We said, "take Chris Douglas-Roberts."
Our worst advice: In 2001 - Samuel Dalembert was the 26th pick. We said, "take Nakeia Miller."
