Shaun Pruitt has aspirations of playing in the NBA, and will try to get some exposure and invitations to tryouts this off season. It's a smart move by Pruitt, to get some feedback from NBA people on what improvement is needed. In case he is in a hurry to get the feedback regardless of the source, I thought I would try to help him out.
Pros:
-Good upper body strength
-Solid rebounder
-Effort around the hoop is impressive, following missed shots
-Defense shows promise
Areas for Improvement:
-Jumping ability suspect
-Has trouble finishing at the hoop
-Does not pass from the low block
-Poor shooting touch
-Poor percentage at free throw line
-Could struggle to get shots off in NBA
Overall, Shaun is a fierce competitor on the court, and has improved in some areas. He does need to improve his shooting touch, jumping ability and refine his offensive game so he can put up big numbers in college, let alone the NBA. He drags down his shooting percentage by frequently taking four shots at layups to get one basket. Seems like he should work on the aspects of his game this summer, and start taking some foreign languages, like Italian, German, etc. to prepare for Europe.

Shaun may surprise a few folks at the draft camps and be told that he will be drafted. If he is going to be drafted at any spot, he should seriously consider the NBA. No one can guarantee that he will go higher after next year.
Yes, you never know what will happen, but I doubt it. He is big and strong, but the trend in the NBA is guys that can run the floor and dunk, and Shaun is not really in either category.
