NBA Comparison: Reggie Miller
Strengths: A study in fluidity. Childress, although skinny possesses great athletic ability with super long arms and great intangibles. Josh is one of those players who can play multiple positions…He can handle the ball and shoot the 3 like few can. He also has an excellent mid range game and a developing post up game. Josh is very unselfish and is great at moving without the ball…His long arms and quick feet make him a super shotblocker, rebounder and defender for his position. They additionally give him the ability to cause havoc in the passing lanes for opposing teams. All in all Josh is a super prospect with the athletic ability teams drool over and the defensive skills teams die for.
Weaknesses: Even with all his physical gifts, Josh never seemed to dominate games at the college level. He doesn’t always seem to have the intensity/aggressiveness on the offensive end that other dominating college players have had. That being said, he was asked to be a team player at Stanford…A tad on the skinny side, Childress would definitely benefit with some added weight…There are also concerns about his foot, which sidelined him for the early parts of this season.
Notes: A finesse type player with a very bright future. A definite first rounder, his defensive talents separate him from the pack…. A starter from his first day on the Stanford campus….A McDonald’s All American out of high school…
