Blending a strong combination of pure skill, advanced strength and functional agility, Luke Babbitt is one of the more promising inside/outside prospects of the 2010 NBA Draft.

For smaller conference players like Babbitt who do absolutely everything while in college and are such strong all-around players, it sometimes becomes difficult to project what will be their one signature, translatable skill in the NBA, but I expect him to comfortably have three.

The first NBA attribute will be his shot, both the mid-range and the perimeter. He has smooth mechanics with his jumper despite having a compact and quick release. When in the mid-range, he does an excellent job of elevating into a jumper with some legitimate lift off the floor. Babbit's attempts from beyond the arc, which has the range to the NBA three, doesn't have as much lift. He probably won't be a high volume three-point shooter initially and his looks will be fairly open spot-ups, so that is unlikely to be a problem.

His next NBA attribute will be his ability to put the ball on the floor at his height. Babbitt's handle is good enough to lose his man in the halfcourt and he also can run the point forward in stretches given his ability to see the floor while maintaining his dribble.  Babbitt's game is mostly meat and potatoes, but he will put the ball between his legs and use good hesitation moves. He will surprise people with his ability to shake and bake with the dribble and it will free up his mid-range.

Finally, his third solid NBA attribute will be the ability to defend and play multiple positions. Some players become combo forwards out of a deficiency in not having a single position, but Babbitt is a true small forward with enough strength, height and athleticism to also defend many power forwards. Babbitt has talked with me about the newfound popularity of the 'stretch-four' and his ability to fill that niche.

While not as advanced as those specific three areas, Babbitt has an impressive array of moves in the mid-post. He is dynamic in his pre-dribble moves with the physicality of his pivot and footwork and he has multiple moves to choose from. He will be hard for most players to defend in this areas because his shot is too good not to play up on him and he will be quick enough to get past most defenders and also will muscle a lot of wings asked to guard him. He creates separation for himself with ease and he'll finish what he starts whether it is a jumper or if it is using glass near the bucket.

He is also a good passer, especially in transition when he'll look to pass over the top of the defense and when he's bringing the ball up. Babbitt tends to call his own number when he goes to work off the dribble in the halfcourt, but he will occasionally find an open teammate for an easy bucket.

Defensively, Babbitt is not the kind of gifted player he is on the other end of the floor. He plays better in the interior than on the perimeter, but he can certainly guard wings even if he doesn't have incredible lateral quickness and struggles with his ability to close out coming from the paint.

Babbitt has good agility and is certainly capable of being a more productive defender than he was at Nevada. His motor on that end of the floor seems to be a bigger issue and also a fixable one.

As a rebounder, Babbitt will be excellent in comparison to small forwards and plenty competent for a power forward. He is conscientious on screening out and has good length to the ball and generally works hard in this area.
