| Fortson, Courtney | Arkansas | 5'11" | 180 | PG | Soph. | Fortson is a small but rugged left handed point guard. He has EXCELLENT vision as a passer. He can make a difficult pass look routine. ...Lefty but uses his right hand well. ...A tough competitor that does not shy from contact. ...Crafty. ...Ballsy. ...Shot selection is an issue and his two-year shooting numbers at Arkansas are ugly: 40% FG, 69% FT (both rounded up). Despite his sophomore status - he is already 22 years old. He was suspended to start the 2009-10 season for an unspecified violation of team rules. ...While I love his toughness and passing ability - I just don't think he keeps defenses honest enough as a shooter. Cracking the NBA is tough but Fortson could get there if he improves his shooting and decision making. |
Where do I expect Fortson to be taken? He will not be drafted.
Our best advice: In 2009 - Wesley Matthews went undrafted. We had him as the 51st pick.
Our worst advice: In 1999 - We had Derek Hood listed 44th. He was not drafted. (Hood did make the NBA eventually. He played in two games for the Hornets in 1999-00.)
