2003 Scouting Report:
Strengths: Has NBA size to withstand the physical demands of playing in the lost post... Offensively he shows solid touch to convert a high number of shots off the glass ... Understands how to use his body to set-up good position on his defender... Mentally tough player who does not stray away from physical contact... Possesses advanced rebounding techniques for his age as he does an excellent job of tapping the ball back to himself when he is out of position ... Defensively he shows surprisingly quick hands to strip the ball from his assignment... For his size Lang runs the floor very well... When blocking shots he has a great sense of timing ... Plays the game very aggressively as he constantly looks to attack the basket... Excellent offensive rebounder... Does a great job of quickly putting the ball back up on put-backs ... Takes up space in the lane to disrupt opposing guards drives ... Owns a pair of soft hands that enable him to control most passes thrown his way ... Decent athlete for a player of his size and girth ... Unselfish player who is a solid passer from the post... Does a great job of creating contact in the lane to draw fouls ...
Weakness: Fluctuating weight will be a concern as he might never gain full control ala Oliver Miller... Shot blocking ability could suffer due to his average quickness when getting off the floor... Must continue to develop his back to the basket moves when posting up ... Will need to continue to work on his conditioning to improve his stamina ... At this stage in his career his post footwork is still in need of refinement... Can play with too much aggressiveness when playing defense which leads him to be foul prone ... Needs to expand his perimeter shooting range out to 15 feet... Will need to improve on his ball handling if he is to play power forward in the NBA ... Double teams tend to effect his production because of his still developing court awareness ... Will be a project for whoever drafts him and could take 2-3 years before being NBA ready ... Defensively Lang could stand to improve on his lateral movement... Below average free throw shooter..

2003 Scouting Report:
Strengths: Fundamentally sound player who is steadily becoming a complete player offensively ... Displays good athleticism in terms of leaping ability and running of the floor ... Excels on the break where he displays the decent athleticism to finish with flair ... Shows above average ball handling ability to take most defenders off the dribble ... Extremely creative in his scoring as he uses an assortment of moves when taking the ball to the basket ... Defensively Pavlovic shows great promise of being a capable help defender thanks to his long arms and quick hands ... Great passer who has the kind of court vision to be effective when the defense commits to him ... Shows great confidence in his abilityand wants the shot when the game is on the line ... Has three point range on his jumper ... Long arms and solid leaping ability enable him to be a decent rebounder ... An explosive scorer who can take over a game ... Understands how to create his own scoring opportunities ... Rarely seen in his age he is a capable mid-range shooter...
Weakness: Defensively he has a bad habit of playing over aggressively which can lead to him picking up quick fouls ... Has yet to develop into a consistent player ... Needs to become a more efficient shooter off the dribble ... Shot selection is in need of improvement as he can get caught up in the moment... Ball protection is below average as he tends to be careless with the ball ... Court awareness isn't always there and his concentration level can vary from game to game ... Needs to use his feet on defense instead of swiping at the ball ... Poor decision making on the court makes for costly mental mistakes ... When driving to the basket he has problems finishing after contact ... Could stand to improve on getting teammates involved on offense ... Ball movement without the ball is decent but could get better ... Needs to become more efficient shooting off screens and picks ... Outside shooting from beyond the three point line remains streaky ...
