Play along here for a second, please....
I'm going to hide the identity of this NBA prospect. I'll just reveal his stats and physical profile, and you tell me if you're interested.
He's 6'8" and weights north of 230 lbs. Has a good standing reach for a PF, but also appears to have the agility to defend the SF.... you are what you can defend, right?
He's definitely athletic, even if that doesn't always translate into his style of play. But he can dunk on you fiercely, catch lobs, etc.
He played two years of college ball and improved statistically in his second year. People have wondered if the stats are real, but he DID average over 19 ppg, on nearly 60% of his twos (up a couple of percentage points), and shot the three at a blistering pace: over 50% on 2 attempts per game (a big jump from his freshman year). Scouts have broken down his shot and love it. They think this improvement is real.
He gets a steal per game and is averaging more than 8 rebounds per game. Both modestly improved from his freshman year. He shoots about 75% from the free throw line.
He could improve his handle. Has played down low, but looks like he could develop into that desirable 3-4 guy.
IF you know his identity, please keep it secret. Just take a look at these stats and tell me if you're interested.
I know we have two established starters in our front court. But we could use this type of player, I think.
