Draft prospect question

[ggp]

Any info on Villanova PG Randy Foye? He is a senior and is supposed to be a very good defender. How is he as a floor general?

Draft Projection: Second round

Similarities: Luther Head

Positives: He's off to a phenomenal start for Villanova. Foye is aggressive, gritty and very athletic -- a nice combination in any guard. He's a warrior with great competitive instincts. His shot has improved dramatically over his four years at Villanueva and he possesses enough ball-handling skills to be a part-time point guard in the pros. To top it off, scouts claim he's one of the best perimeter defenders in the country.

Negatives: Foye is not a pure point guard which means he's undersized to play the two full time in the pros. Scouts believe he's a little closer to 6-foot-3 than the 6-foot-4 he's listed at. Poor shot selection and turnovers have plagued him in the past, though he seems to have overcome that his senior year.

Summary: We've heard Foye compared to Illinois' Luther Head in recent weeks. Head, if you remember, wasn't considered much of a prospect heading into his senior season, but his stock continued to rise throughout the season and the draft workout process once scouts saw his combination of skills. Both guys are a little undersized to play the two, but their versatility can help them overcome that question mark. He's moved way up the charts the last two weeks. If he continues to play at this pace, he could easily crack the first round by the end of the season.
