Gary Wilkinson's play at Portsmouth

Here's a take on Gary Wilkinson at the Portsmouth Invitational:

Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, Day Two
Jonathan Givony - President, Matt Kamalsky, Joseph Treutlein - Assistant Director of Scouting
Draft Express
April 10, 2009


...Gary Wilkinson had another strong performance here, further increasing his stock for, at the very least, the many European league executives that came to scout this event. He hit a number of mid-range jumpers thanks to his superb touch, even showing range out to the three-point line, and also showed some crafty footwork in the paint, which led to some mixed results. He’s one of the biggest hustlers you’ll find at this tournament, grabbing 15 rebounds in 32 minutes today. Wilkinson draws some comparisons to Brian Scalabrine due to their obvious similarities in their build, hair color (fiery red) and comparable games, but at age 26, he is probably a long shot for the NBA...
