Scouting Report
- A guy who has all the tools to be successful, except for one thing
-
He can't shoot
-
An instinctive, and at times explosive scorer, he has a great floor game that allows him to put the ball in the basket in a variety of ways
-
Gets a lot of his field goals going to or being around the rim in some form
-
Has a powerful drive and the leverage to finish
-
Cuts into the lane with his handle rather well
-
Has a nose for the ball, frequently collecting points by simply putting himself in position to be at the right place at the right time
-
Marvelous in transition, whether it is running or finishing in the open court
-
Also possessing a strong build, he has the touch to score underneath the basket or on the turnaround jumper in the low post
-
Hard-nosed finisher, though size factor does present it's problems
-
Quick feet give bigger defenders trouble sealing off the angle to the basket
-
Despite all this, the absence of a dependable outside shot simply serves as a limitation to his production
-
Will knock down open mid- range jumpers without a problem, but lacks range and doesn't shoot very well off the dribble once he gets past sixteen feet
-
As a defender, he fits in well to a pressing style because he has the speed and size that benefit the trap
-
Also a productive rebounder, he is very aggressive in the paint despite the fact that he undersized
-
Doesn't at all shy from contact and has the foot speed to react to rebounds at all angles
-
Especially impressive at the offensive end
-
When everyone else is in position waiting for the carom to come to them, he slips inside and goes for the board
-
A former McDonald's All-American
-
Father, Michael, Sr., starred at Southwest Missouri State
-
Once played against former North Carolina guard Michael Jordan.
