Shoots too much. Has a nice midrange game, unlike many college players,
and he should adjust to the NBA 3 line pretty well. A bit of a scary
pick, because he's so focussed on scoring. If he can't be instant
offense in the NBA he might not contribute at all.
Strengths
of Courtney Alexander
Explosive athlete who can put up points
in bunches. He has good range on his jumper, is quick enough to get by
defenders and fast enough to be a huge asset for a running team. Has the
build to excel at 2-guard in the big leagues. Is viewed by some as a
"sleeper" even though he will be a lottery selection because he can come
in and have a big
impact on a
team right away.
Weaknesses of Courtney Alexander
Not a brilliant
defender and won't be confused for a point guard. Courtney is a big
scorer but is he too selfish? That's what some say. As a junior he
refused to play two games which will have most scouts working hard on
character backgrounds. Those from Virginia, where Alexander played
previously only to transfer to Fresno State in September of 1997, say
the same since he was convicted of assaulting his girlfriend/the mother
of his child and sentenced to four days in jail back in August of that
