Pros:

Fairly good scorer off the dribble
Adequate low post scorer
Excels at scoring on the move
Tremendous free throw generator
Decent playmaker
Good rebounder
Good athlete
Good size to play out on the wing
Rock solid motor

Needs to improve his shooting
Below average free throw shooter

Does not collect enough steals or blocks
Can play too wildly at times
May potentially be a tweener

Summary:

Jordan Caroline is an athletic, high-motor combo forward that quietly had a solid senior season for Nevada.  He is a versatile scorer that can get numerous tough scores around the basket, and he is also quite active on the boards.

On the other hand, he may need to improve his outside shot, and he may have a tendency to play too wildly at times.  Also, he will likely need to show that he can play solid defense on a consistent basis, especially against tough teams.

Right now, he has not garnered much draft buzz, but with his skill set, combined with having good athletic gifts and motor, Caroline could end up being a potential second round pick in the future.
