Strengths: Almond has good size for a shooting guard with a nice frame and excellent length. He is probably the most productive high-major college player you’ve never heard about. He is an excellent shooter with terrific mechanics and a good understanding of how to move off the ball and come off screens. He is generally an unselfish player with a high basketball IQ and a good attitude towards the game. Outlook: Almond is making the right move in testing his stock and letting NBA teams know he is out there. He will likely attend a number of private workouts and possibly the Orlando pre-draft camp and return to school if he’s not projected as a top-40 pick. Without an outstanding showing in Orlando, it’s difficult to see that happening. Weaknesses: Almond is a below-average athlete compared to other wing prospects in the draft. He is fairly mechanical in his movements, and does not have a great first step or quickness. He is a relatively poor slasher and as his ball-handling skills are not on par with his perimeter shooting. Almond is fairly unknown and did not benefit from the early hype many of his counterparts did. Comparison: Matt Carroll

Strengths: Almond is a scoring machine. His frame is ideal for a wing scorer. Almond has a long wingspan for his size, is fairly muscular, and looks like he can still add some weight without losing any speed. His best attribute is his perimeter shooting, which extends out to NBA range. Almond has beautiful form on his shot, which he releases quickly and from a high point - making it tougher to block. He is dangerous coming off of screens when he can catch and shoot on the move. Almond is a very smart player. He moves very well without the ball and does a good job selling fakes to defenders when he has the ball. A major part of his appeal as a prospect is his ability to get to the foul line, where he is an excellent free-throw shooter. Weaknesses: Almond is not very athletic. He doesn’t have a great first step nor does he have much explosiveness. His below-average ballhandling skills and lack of creativity off the dribble cause him to sometimes be a very one-dimensional player offensively. He relies on his outside shooting too much. Defensively, Almond’s lack of athleticism comes back to hurt him. Often times his man can lose him with a simple screen, and he is often beat off the dribble. He has exhibited poor defensive rotation in the past as well. Outlook: Almond is a player who is teetering between the first and second round, so individual workouts will be huge for him. He will probably play mostly shooting guard in the NBA, although could see time as a small forward as well. Defensively he could be a liability, but if he improves his quickness a little, he will be a great scorer off the bench.
