Name: Hank Gathers
Position: SF
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 205
Age: 22
Pros: There is not a better pure athlete in this draft. This boy can run all day and is incredible active all over the court. One of the biggest plus for him is his undying desire to get rebounds. Since he might have to change positions in the pros it is good that he loves life in the post. In college no one could stop him on the block, he will have to prove that he can muscle up with the big boys next year. Hank also is always looking to get crowd lifting super dunk. He plays well above the rim. Tough minded physical player that will look to lock down the other teams SF and box out to get rebounds.
Cons: As a wing player you want a guy that can stretch the floor and make three pointers. Hank has said that he plans to never take a three point shot in the pros. He will have to change the game as a SF or change positions in the pros. Time will tell if he is a tweener that has no national position or if he can be a force in the league. Another weakness for Hank is free throws. Will the way that he plays in the paint he will get to the line a lot. He is not a good foul shooter.
Overall: There is so much heart in Hank's play that it is hard to see him not making a huge impact at the next level. He is an amazing athlete, a monster in the paint, and a guy that can play every minute of every game. Don't be surprised if he gets into the right system and averages 20/10 right out of the gates.
Projection: 6-10
