NBA Draft Scouting 2002

18. Udonis Haslim

Florida 6'9" 246 PF - SR.

A relentless player with a wide body. Haslim can score in the post going either right or left. ...Can make the good interior pass. Can finish on the break. Good leaping ability for a big man. He's 6'9" but is so strong, and has such a power game that he can help a teams overall strength. …A super hard worker that ended his Florida career as one of the school's all-time greatest players. He'll step out to 10' and knock down a jumper. Shot 56% as a SR. at Florida. ...Has quick reactions. ...Haslim is an agressive player that "gets his". He bench pressed 185 lbs. 22 repititions at Chicago pre draft camp. The question is what do you do with him defensively?
