The comparison you hear on World is Dan Majerle, but I liken his game also to Tom Gugliotta. He runs defenders off screens and plays easy. Szczerbiak will have challenges on the defensive end staying with quicker players on the perimeter however he is smart and crafty enough to survive and excel despite whatever deficiencies he may have on the defensive end.
The big question with Szczerbiak is his quickness, or lack thereof. Szczerbiak has an NBA build and can shoot coming off screens or after having put the ball on the floor. At 6-8, he can play the shooting guard or the small forward position, and, because of his range and the ability to drill the deep ball, he can manufacture his own shot. Szczerbiak has great inside-outside ability, and he can go into traffic and grab rebounds. 'World' can shoot the deep 3-pointer and was the best overall shooter in the college game last season, Trajan Langdon included. "Wally Szczerbiak was a late bloomer in college, after being lightly recruited out of high school.
