Patrick Ewing
Center | 7'0 | 252 lbs | 20 Years Old
abcalegends.com/players/player72.htm
Pros: The 7foot Center from Georgetown comes into the league already an excellent defender and that part of his game is definitely his strongest. He already is an impressive defender in the post and scouts expect him to only get better there and become a top defender in the league as he develops. Ewing also has a great knack of blocking shots, he has great timing around the rim to either block shots or alter them. He is also a good rebounder on both the defensive and offensive glass. His scoring comes into the league quite raw and will need to be worked on by the team that drafts him, but he has shown the potential to become an effective scorer.
Cons: Ewing's athleticism is probably his biggest knock; although he isn't a bad athlete, he might struggle a bit against the more quicker and athletic big men in the league. He also doesn't have very good hands so could be prone to turning the ball over.
Overall: Patrick Ewing is a great prospect and should become a top defensive player in the league, but he also has the potential to become a very good scorer on the other end. It is a great draft at the top but Patrick Ewing could well be the first name called after Jordan and Olajuwon are selected.
Projection: #3-5
