NBA Draft Scouting 2002
5. Amare Stoudemire
High School - 6'10" 233 PF, C, SF
Once he becomes a better shooter, look out. A rare physical speciman of power, speed and agility. He has great energy and a desire to excel. He plays a power game but can handle reasonably well. 35.5" verticle is one inch higher tha Chris Wilcox. His wingspan is 7'1". Ranked as the #1 high school Senior by Dave Telep & TheInsidersHoops.com Final Top 100 Class of 2002. A hard player to ignore. The reality is that before long (3 years) he could be better than anyone in this draft. ...Lived in six homes across two states while his mother and brother were in and out of jail.
