NBA Comparison: Tracy McGrady

Strengths: Possibly the most talented prospect in the entire 2002 NBA Draft if he declares. Has skills that are unteachable. Part of the new breed of NBA players, of the Tracy McGrady, multi-skilled, ultra athletic types. A do it all player. One NBA insider I spoke to said he will be a top 3 pick and may end up the best player in the entire draft class.Comparing him to McGrady, he probably isn't the run jump athlete but his handle and shot are better. More importantly, "He's a good kid. I've met him and talked with his family, and he may not have taken the usual course to the NBA, but he's a good kid." Very versatile, extremely skilled wing player, with great size and quickness. Can handle the basketball extremely well at 6-9, scores with a variety of moves to the basket, and has a nice shooting stroke. Explosive player with very good scoring ability.

Weaknesses: The Juco stigma. Kedrick Brown paved the way, jumping from a Juco player to being a lottery pick. However, he has had a slow start in Boston struggling for minutes. There will be no shortage of NBA scouts following Woods development this season.


Recruiting analyst Bob Gibbons says that some pro scouts are calling him another Tracy McGrady.


Here's what Gibbons had to say about Woods:
A team that may surprise a lot of people is Memphis. They've got the best juco player in the country in this Qyntel Woods (6-8, NE Mississippi JC). Talking to NBA scouts that have been to see him, they think he's Tracy McGrady. He can play point guard, second guard, small forward. I've talked to three NBA scouts that have been down there and they say if he comes out he would be taken among the top two or three picks. Of course, for (John) Calipari -- who's already lost Amare Stoudemire (6-10, Orlando), who will definitely go pro -- the challenge is to keep Woods by saying, "I can get you better prepared to go to NBA."
