Name: Michael Sweetney
Position: C
Number: 50
DOB: October 25, 1982
Age when drafted: 20 (9th overall)
College: Georgetown
Hometown: Washington, D.C.
Height: 6’8”
Weight: 295 lbs
STRENGTHS: In his final year of college, Sweetney averaged 22.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. Like other 300lb lottery picks before him (Kwame Brown, Eddy Curry), Sweetney took advantage of smaller defenders in his younger ages to boost his draft rankings. Even in the NBA, he was able to use his large backside to position himself well under the basket, both for scoring and rebounding, however his conditioning would never allow him to have a meaningful career.
WEAKNESSES: Sweetney’s lack of conditioning ultimately ended his career at 24 years old. He ended up playing just 233 games in 4 seasons, never averaging more than 20 minutes a game. His per-36 minutes stats were always strong, averaging 15.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per 36 minutes for his career. The potential to become the next dominant big man was always there, he just could not get his body into shape.
