Fran Frachilla, a basketball writer with ESPN, has Gary Forbes listed as a “value player” in the upcoming NBA Draft.
Via the free Insider Blog at ESPN:
At 6-7, Forbes played small forward at UMass in a very up-tempo system where he was a relentless slasher to the basket all season long. However, in order to make the transition to an NBA shooting guard, he will have to continue to improve a somewhat inconsistent jump shot and be able to defend the position. There’s no doubt he will work on those aspects of his game as he is an intelligent guy and has a great motor.
Check out who’s listed below Forbes – Mr. George Hill from IUPUI. Hill absolutely destroyed the Minutemen this year and is considered one of the best small-school players – if not THE best – in the country.
