As we all know, Kobe is the greatest shooting guard after Jordan. On scoring technique alone, Kobe represents the ceiling of NBA. As the first person in the history of the Lakers, Kobe has won five championships in the past 20 years, 1 MVP, two FMVP, two scoring titles, and 1 1 the best team in history, which makes him among the top teams in history. However, before the 1996 draft, he was only a high school student below 18. How did the draft report describe him at that time?

Advantages: Omni-directional, competent for multiple positions, mature mentality.

In the eyes of scouts, Kobe showed great strength in high school. He always plays with passion, and he can play almost five positions on the court. His game style is elegant and stable. 18 years old, far better than peers. His learning ability and reading ability are very strong. He is a good finisher and has a good scoring ability. He is also a leading player. Even against the triple team, he can still dominate the game.

Disadvantages: doubtful ball control ability. Although omnipotent, the ability of each position is not top-notch, and confrontation with it is a disadvantage.

Kobe's high school team lacks point guards, and Kobe's ability to control the ball when he is a point guard is relatively lacking. 17-year-old Kobe has strong athletic ability, and his height does not suffer, but for the NBA, he is too thin to adapt to the NBA-level confrontation. Although he can be competent for multiple positions, the ability of each position is not top-notch, which is not necessarily a good thing.

In another scout report, he also pointed out another shortcoming of Kobe, that is, Kobe, who is too competitive, will lose his cool if he can't get the ball, so he needs a calm coach and teammates to convince him.

On the whole, 17-year-old Kobe is very talented. His scoring ability is S-class, and his shooting ability at key moments is also S-class. At the same time, he is all-round, with strong learning ability and reading ability. As a leading player, Kobe has a strong competitive spirit, but his ball control ability is only Grade B, and the only unqualified thing is confrontation. 17 is too thin for the NBA, just like Garnett, it is also not optimistic because it is thin.

I have to say that the description of the scout report is very accurate, and the pros and cons are correct. However, Kobe worked very hard after entering the league, and his strong competitive spirit and learning ability made him make continuous progress. His ball control ability has become the top in the league, and his strength and confrontation are also very strong. He is a tall shooting guard. Although he is still not calm sometimes, his powerful strength has made many fairy balls, and his performance at the critical moment is really strong.
