AHHH!!! I know they havent factored in team needs or anything on these draft predictions...but NBADraft.net has the Kings slotted to take Branden Heath in the 2nd round...and they compare him to...Jason Hart! UGH!! Can we um...just take a pass on that ...um...one, should it come up??

Brandon Heath
San Diego State
NBA Comparison: Jason Hart
Strengths: Possesses legit three point range on his jump shot … Excels at setting up his man at the three point line, driving and then pulling up from 18 feet where he hits with decent regularity … Shows a nice first step to gain separation from his defender … Once in the lane he has no problem converting over taller defenders as he is very capable of using the glass for nifty and creative finishes via floater, finger rolls or lay-ups … Athletically Heath is a solid athlete who possesses above average quickness and body control … Unselfish passer who despite being an aggressive scorer will look for open teammates … Defensively he shows quick hands and decent footwork … Has shown improved court vision over the course of his collegiate career … Reportedly is a very coachable player who is a model citizen off the court … Extremely confident player who feels he can scorer on anyone defending him …
Weaknesses: Can at times get frustrated with his teammates when he isn’t getting his looks … Some have labeled him a hothead while others point to his competitive nature … Defensively he could stand to work on playing the passing lanes and improving his lateral quickness … Doesn’t display the same passion on defense as he does on the offensive side of the ball … Tends to get careless with the ball when passing … At this moment Heath is more of a combo guard. Has improved greatly but still hasn’t fully developed point guard skills … Doesn’t always move without the ball often stands waiting for passes … Lacks the explosiveness athletically to be an impact rebounder … Could stand to improve his upper body strength … Needs to be a more consistent shooter as he can go through periods of streakiness …
