| Pondexter, Quincy | Washington | 6'7" | 220 | SG, SF | SR. | Pondexter is a player I like. He has superior energy and always seems to give an honest effort. He's the kind of kid that follows his shot and makes plays by out-hustling others. ...He was named first team All-Pac-10 & named to Pac-10 All-Tournament Team. ...Pondexter is an alert swingman/scorer that I think will be more of a TWO than a THREE in the NBA.

His career shooting numbers are: .502 FG%, .767 FT%, .327 3-Pt. ...He has a great mid-range shot. ...Right-handed but can and will use his left hand. …Pondexter is feisty. He will dive on the floor for a loose ball. ...He makes hustle plays that help win games. …Quick jumper. ...Has hang time. ...From a pure touch standpoint he is just 'okay' as a shooter. ...A good but not GREAT athlete. ...Good defender that will sacrifice his body and take a charge. Especially good as an on-ball defender. ...In college he was capable of getting a go-to basket. …He is said to be a hard worker - winning the team's "hardest worker" award two years in a row from 2007-08 through 2008-09 (both seasons included Jon Brockman as a teammate).

Where do I expect Pondexter to be taken? Somewhere around 29th.
Our best advice: In 2002 - the 29th pick was Steve Logan. We said - "take Carlos Boozer".
Our worst advice: In 2001 - the 29th pick was Trenton Hassell. We said - "take Nakeia Miller".
