Strength: Athletically freakish. Can leap out of the gym and if he had bigger hands he would dunk on a LOT of people. Energetic as they come and a showman. Can run the floor as quick as anybody and can score on anybody. Uncanny range for his size. Though small, has the athleticism and strength to belong in the league. Above average handle and loves to disrupt on defense to start the break. Very emotional and competitive. Fiery. A good rebounder for his size.

Weakness: Size. More times than not it is a liability on defense as he can be posted up. He is an injury away from getting bounced out of the league since his whole repertoire consist of athletic moves ( see Spud Webb). His emotions can get the best of him causing on court mistakes and friction with his teammates /coaches. Poor court vision and not a great passer which is why he is an enigma on what postition he should play to get the best out of him. Poor shot selection and streaky shooting. Still has a lot to learn but can be a great talent in the league.

Good job. One additional point. He's pretty good from 3 point range (40% last season).

i think u pretty much covered it jazz...

i'd only add the following:

strengths:
- hustles at all times on the floor & willing to give up his body on every single play
- has the tools, personality & charisma to be a leader on this team

weaknesses:
- needs to be smarter with the basketball & improve his focus
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Nate only needs time to mature. He's young and a bit immature for his age. That kind of over the top exuberance will fade as he gets older and gains more experience as a pro. Most guys like him eventually calm down. He'll still be a high energy player, but more in control.

He has all the tools needed to be a dynamic player in this league.

You guys summed him up. Not to raise a sore subject, but Nate's potential is probably one of the reasons we passed on Marcus Williams (but I am not trying to start a "was it wise to pass on Williams" debate).

Nate could be a modern day Tiny Archibald. A scorer and distributer with some playground to his game.

His floor is probably a hyperactive Earl Boykins in need of Prozac.

Thing is, I don't mind his attitude if he could just harness it a little better and use it for the powers of good(to get his OWN team fired up) as opposed to the powers of evil(getting the OTHER team fired up).
