What would you need statistically to become a top nba draft prospect?

Say you made it to a D1 school like Duke. What stats do you need to become considered for an nba draft? Like if you were a Shooting-Guard? I was reading john wall only had 16 PPG and like 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Also, what else do scouts look for in players?|||A shooting guard from Duke would probably need to average at least 17 ppg and shoot fairly decently, at least 44% FG and 35% 3PT.





John Wall's draft status is determined more by his ability to make plays and be a leader rather than his shooting or scoring stats. He can score and shoot the ball a little bit, but that can be improved. It's his speed, ballhandling skills, leadership skills, above average defensive skills and his ability to attack the basket that make him a top prospect. He possesses a lot of qualities that are highly coveted in drafted players but are not usually common.





Those are qualities that scouts look for, because it's hard to find good defensive players and guys willing to lead a team right away. Basically, it's not all in the statistics it's more in how you help a team win. If you do whatever it takes to win you'll be a player to look out for.|||It also depends on your versatility. If you are a balanced D1 player, like Grant Hill or Mike Dunleavy, you are usually a top prospect. Scouts look to see if you have enough versatility and defensive skills to become a prospect. Look at numerous number one overall picks who were versatile defensive threats, such as Antonio McDyess, Kenyon Martin, and Dwight Howard.








It amazes me that statistically, guards are usually first overall picks, but usually, it depends on your size and your acolades, such as rebounding and blocks.|||It will depend on the position that you are aspiring to become as well as your professionalism and passion for the game. They'll also look at your physique and maturity as they want players that can handle the stressful schedule of the league.





A.For a PG: scouts will look after your (1) playmaking abilities - how you pass the ball, how you look for your teammates, how well you orchestrate and execute plays. (2) ball handling. (3) offensive and defensive game.


B. For an SG: scouts will look for your offensive game - perimeter shooting, slashing, 3pt shooting. in short, how effective of a shooter you are.


C. For an SF: basically, scouts will look for an all-around player that pretty much knows a little bit of everything with particular focus on what the team needs. They can go for an offensive minded SF (just like Carmelo), or a defensive minded one (like Artest), or if they're lucky, find someone like LeBron who does everything.


D. For a PF: it will also depend on what a team needs. if they want a PF who specializes in post up moves, then they'll choose someone with the height and weight advantage who knows how to bang it up inside the court (like Zach Randolph, Al Jefferson). If they want a PF that's finesse, knows how to make mid-range jumpers, then they focus on the offensive game of the player (like Nowitzki and Yi Jianlian.


C. For a C: inside domination is very important. must have the height and reach advantage as well as the physical conditioning to be chosen as a top pick for C position. Must know how to rebound effectively, box out, defense oriented, and has good offensive skills (post ups, face up jumpers near the ring, etc.) Being athletic is optional, but advantageous (like Dwight).|||steals block fg % 3point% ft% strength
