Name: Antonio McDyess
Position: Power Forward
Height: 6'9''
Weight: 220
Age: 19
Pros: Dyess is a very unique player in that he has a pretty good inside game and a factor on the glass early in his career. His freak athletic skills will make him a tough PF to defend due to being able to get around defenders quickly and get up high and finish with the best of them. Adding his freak skills to his age of only 19 make him a great player to draft now and wait a season or two for him to hit his potential to contribute to a winning team.
Cons: Many of his pros could be seen as flaws, starting with his weight. He's going to have to win his battles with finesse and jumping because he's going to be giving up weight to alot of opponents. McDyess is also a guy that you will have trouble building around him having the ball at the start of a possession due to his terrible passing and ball handling. He's going to get alot of his points on putbacks and quick strikes.
Overall: I'm a pro McDyess guy, but not as much after looking at his hands and passing. I think he fits a role for certain team designs but it'll be hard for the lotto teams to know just how high to grab him since he's got some fatal flaws to go along with some good athletics.
Projection: 6-7
