#13 Willie Warren | G
Strengths

Right handed....Excellent size and chiseled frame… Above-average length… Excellent athleticism… Good leaping abilities… Excellent ability to score in a variety of ways- excels with his quick release and ability to hit shots from downtown… Warren can create his own shots and get himself open with his good ball-handling and finishing well in traffic… Although Warren gets little credit for his defense, he could be a very good defensive player with his long arms and good lateral quickness…  Stepped up in a big way and took over the Sooners when Blake Griffin left the team with an injury…

Weaknesses

Can he continue to effectively transition from Shooting Guard to Point Guard? Poor shot selection at times… Continues to shoot from the perimeter when his shot is falling- his persistence is nice, but he should get in a rhythm by driving to the rim- he can be effective in passing or finishing in the lane, not just by shooting from outside… Questionable defensive mentality… Warren continues to work on the mechanics of his jump shot which feature a low release point, firing the ball from his chin… Tendency to play out of control at times…
