Scouting Report:
A big, solid post player with a good outside touch.
Strengths:
Strong, solid
presence down low. Very hard working player – a “hustle” guy. Good
rebounder. Good low post scorer. Blocks a decent amount of shots. Has
a very good outside shot – even out beyond the 3-point arc.
Weaknesses:
Not very
athletic. Not a big time leaper or quick mover. Undersized for the 4
spot in the NBA. Never been more than a solid role player in his
college career.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range:
Undrafted
Consensus:
Buckman was a
very effective and underrated NCAA player, but his lack of size and
athleticism looks like it will force him to earn his living overseas if
he plans on being a pro player.
