Strengths: Newley has proved himself to be an outstanding scorer in Australia, playing in a league that plays very little defense. He has good athleticism for such a tall guard, and is an above average passer for shooting guard. Newley is a nice shooter who has displayed the ability to shoot the NBA 3-pointer while also hitting the midrange jumper off of the dribble. He is a hustler who attempts to use his effort on the defensive end to make up for his lack of lateral quickness.

Weaknesses: Newley struggles quite a bit on the defensive end. He doesn’t have the lateral quickness nor the experience guarding NBA caliber players to make an impact on that end of the court. He doesn’t have the best defensive instincts. Newley is awfully weak as well, and really struggles driving to his left on offense.

Outlook: The Australian scoring machine is automatically eligible for this year’s draft, and should see himself nabbed somewhere in the second round.

Strengths: Wing with a good feel for the game and great intangables ... Good shooter with range out to 3 point ... Has a winning attitude, a leader ... Smart without the ball, moves well to get himself open ... Knows how to create his own shot ... When he's not shooting well, he finds ways to contribute with defense and hustle plays: a defensive rebound, an assist, draw a charge ... Very solid player ... Has good court vision ...

Weakneses: Lacks great speed on the NBA level ... Needs to add body strength, but will never be especially strong ... Must improve from the FT line ... Not very fast, he needs add penetrations to his game ... Without a great first step, defenders can play him close, and limit his looks ... For his Australian national team he plays mostly at SF, therefore some question his ability to play 2G ... Lacks experience playing against great compeition, besides a few international events ... Australian stats are bloated due to open court style of game and level of competition plus they play 48 minute games as opposed to the standard 40 ...
