Seton Hall 82, Georgetown 67

Thursday, February 20, 2014 | Prudential Center (Newark, NJ)

Reggie Cameron — SF, 6-7, 225
Freshman, 19 years old

Season (14 mpg): 4 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 1 APG

Game: 5 points
2-5 FG

Outlook: Cameron was a top-100 recruit coming out of high school, but it was obvious he’d require development before earning consistent minutes.

A 6-7 small forward, he’s a pure shooter with range beyond the 3-point line. His build is “smooth” and “rotund,” rather than powerful and athletic.

This would be OK if Cameron had the footwork and agility to create his own shot. However, he doesn’t. Cameron is heavy on his feet, which hinders his jumping and running ability. Rising for a jump shot is an arduous process at this point.

Right now, Cameron is merely a spot-up shooter on offense. He struggles to maintain control of the basketball, let alone create off the dribble. He needs to develop his ball skills, and eventually become lighter on his feet. He will be asked to defend small forwards, but at this point I’m not sure if he has the quickness to do so.

If he manages to get quicker, his shooting prowess will become a focal point in Georgetown’s offense, because he can run off screens or find pockets to rise for a quick jumper. But there’s work to be done.

Video: Spot-Up Misses

— Heavy feet. Needs to get lighter, and develop a sense of urgency.

Video: Shooting

— 81% of attempts are jumpers. Smooth release, was a terrific shooter in high school.

Video: Length (contesting shots on defense)

— Good length and close-out speed. Holding opponents to stellar 5-32 on jumpers this season.

Video: Around the Basket attempts (12 attempts on season)

Video: Shooting off screens

— Is he quick enough to run around screens? Not sure. Smooth pull up, though.
