SG - 6’6, 202lbs - 21 years old - 3 years of experience

In his three years since being drafted, Vaughn has not been the scorer and shooter he was anticipated as becoming - he has had 139 games to show something, more than most others do, and he has not. Vaughn does little with the ball in his hands, is often static around the perimeter when playing off the ball, and lacks for consistent focus on the defensive end. And more than anything, he just doesn’t make enough shots. He remains very young and has a chance to play his way back in, but the guaranteed contract has now run out, so it gets tougher.

Has not looked like an NBA player in his two seasons thus far, and as a sophomore, he got less than half the minutes he did as a rookie, a worrying sign indeed. Certainly comes in and casts up the outside shots, but they simply don’t go in. Added a few percent to the three-point stroke this year and improved his finishing at the rim quite a bit, but not to a high standard, just a better one than before. Ultimately, Vaughn is supposed to be a finisher first and foremost in this league, and he just isn’t finishing anything, nor is he making up for it elsewhere.

Player Plan: Two years left on his rookie scale contract yet has not earned the fourth year on it, let alone anything beyond that.
